Expanded Bible

¹² Princes were hung by the hands;
    they did not respect our ·elders [or old men].
¹³ The young men ·ground grain at the mill [are forced to grind],
    and boys stumbled under loads of wood.
¹⁴ The ·elders [or old men] ·no longer sit at the city [^Lhave left the] gates [^Cthe center of government and business];
    the young men no longer sing.
