Lamentations 5:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ Our young men are forced to grind grain like slaves;
    boys go staggering under heavy loads of wood.

¹⁴ The old people no longer sit at the city gate,
    and the young people no longer make music.

¹⁵ Happiness has gone out of our lives;
    grief has taken the place of our dances.
