Lamentations 5:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Our young men are forced to grind grain at the mill.
    Our boys almost fall down
    as they carry heavy loads of wood.
¹⁴ Our elders don’t go to the city gate anymore.
    Our young men have stopped playing their music.
¹⁵ There isn’t any joy in our hearts.
    Our dancing has turned into mourning.
