Lamentations 5:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² They hang our leaders by their hands.
And they are cruel to our old men too.
¹³ They took the young men to make flour for them, like slaves.
Our boys have to carry heavy bags of wood.
¹⁴ Our enemies no longer let our old men decide things.^[a]
The old men cannot say what is right or fair for us.
And the young men have stopped their music.
