New King James Version (NKJV)
Lamentations 5
12 Princes were hung up by their hands, And elders were not respected.
13 Young men ground at the millstones; Boys staggered under loads of wood.
14 The elders have ceased gathering at the gate, And the young men from their music.
15 The joy of our heart has ceased; Our dance has turned into mourning.
16 The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17 Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes grow dim;
18 Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it.
19 You, O Lord, remain forever; Your throne from generation to generation.
20 Why do You forget us forever, And forsake us for so long a time?
21 Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be restored; Renew our days as of old,
22 Unless You have utterly rejected us, And are very angry with us!
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
