12. Princes were hung up by their hands,the faces of elders were not honored.
13. Young men ground at the millstones;boys staggered under loads of wood.
14. The elders have left the city gate,the young men stopped their music.
15. The joy of our hearts has ceased;our dancing has turned into mourning.
16. The crown has fallen from our head;woe to us, for we have sinned!
17. For this our heart is faint;for these things our eyes grow dim;
18. because of Mount Zion, which is desolate,with foxes walking upon it.
19. You, O Lord, remain forever;Your throne endures from generation to generation.
