Lamentations 5:15-21 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. The joy of our hearts has stopped; our circle-dancing has changed to a mourning ceremony.

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

17. Because of this, our heart has become faint, because of these, our eyes have become dim.

18. Because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, foxes tread on it.

19. You, O Yahweh, will sit forever on your throne for generation to generation.

20. Why have you forgotten us forever? Why have you forsaken us for so long?

21. Restore us to you, O Yahweh, that we will be restored; renew our days as of old.
