“The elders have ceased from the gate,and the young men from their music.”
Lamentations 5:14 (WEB)
Context Reading
12Princes were hanged up by their hands.The faces of elders were not honored. 13The young men carry millstones.The children stumbled under loads of wood. 14The elders have ceased from the gate,and the young men from their music. 15The joy of our heart has ceased.Our dance is turned into mourning. 16The crown has fallen from our head.Woe to us, for we have sinned!
