New Testament

Lamentations 5:13-19 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

13. Young men toil at the millstones;boys stagger under loads of wood.

14. The elders are gone from the city gate;the young men have stopped their music.

15. Joy is gone from our hearts;our dancing has turned to mourning.

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

17. Because of this our hearts are faint;because of these things our eyes grow dim

18. for Mount Zion, which lies desolate,with jackals prowling over it.

19. You, Lord, reign for ever;your throne endures from generation to generation.
