“The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!”
Lamentations 5:16 (BSB)
Context Reading
14The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music. 15Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning. 16The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned! 17Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim — 18because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
