Lamentations 5:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁵ We are not happy any longer.
Instead, we are very sad,
so we do not dance any longer.
¹⁶ And we have no king in Jerusalem any longer.
We have sinned, so it will be very bad for us.
