Lamentations 5:15

“The joy of our heart has ceased; our dancing is turned into mourning.”

About Lamentations

Poetic mourning over Jerusalem's destruction.

Old Testament • Book #25

The young men grind at the mill; the boys stagger under loads of wood.

The elders have gone from the gate, the young men from their music.

The crown is fallen from our head; woe to us, for we have sinned!

For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes grow dim.
