Lamentations 5:17 in Context — Lamentations 5

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!

17 Si notre cœur est souffrant, Si nos yeux sont obscurcis,

18 C’est que la montagne de Sion est ravagée, C’est que les renards s’y promènent.

19 Toi, l’Éternel, tu règnes à jamais; Ton trône subsiste de génération en génération.
