Lamentations 5:12 in Context — Lamentations 5
10 Notre peau est brûlante comme un four, Par l’ardeur de la faim.
11 Ils ont déshonoré les femmes dans Sion, Les vierges dans les villes de Juda.
12 Des chefs ont été pendus par leurs mains; La personne des vieillards n’a pas été respectée.
13 Les jeunes hommes ont porté la meule, Les enfants chancelaient sous des fardeaux de bois.
14 Les vieillards ne vont plus à la porte, Les jeunes hommes ont cessé leurs chants.
