Lamentations 5:14-16

Good News Translation

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.

¹⁶ Nothing is left of all we were proud of.
    We sinned, and now we are doomed.
