Lamentations 5:16 Context
14The Elders haue ceased from the gate, the young men from their musicke. 15The ioy of our heart is ceased, our daunce is turned into mourning. 16The crowne is fallen from our head: Woe vnto vs, that wee haue sinned. 17For this our heart is faint, for these things our eyes are dimme. 18Because of the mountaine of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walke vpon it.
