New Testament

Lamentations 5:10-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. Our skin was burned, as if by an oven, before the face of the tempest of the famine.

11. They humiliated the women in Zion and the virgins in the cities of Judah.

12. The leaders were suspended by their hand. They were not ashamed before the faces of the elders.

13. They have sexually abused the adolescents, and the children were corrupted in the wood.

14. The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms.

15. The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning.

16. The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned.
