Lamentations 5:13 in Context — Lamentations 5

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.

15 La joie a disparu de nos cœurs, Le deuil a remplacé nos danses.
