Lamentations 5:14 in Context — Lamentations 5

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.

16 La couronne de notre tête est tombée! Malheur à nous, parce que nous avons péché!
