Lamentations 5:13-15
Contemporary English Version

13 Young men are forced
    to do the work of slaves;
boys must carry
    heavy loads of wood.
14 Our leaders are not allowed
    to decide cases in court,
and young people
    no longer play music.

15 Our hearts are sad;
instead of dancing,
    we mourn.
