The young men carry millstones.
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
The young men carry millstones.
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
Lamentations 5:10–16
Our skin is black like an oven,
because of the burning heat of famine.
Princes were hanged up by their hands.
The faces of elders were not honored.
The young men carry millstones.
The children stumbled under loads of wood.
The elders have ceased from the gate,
and the young men from their music.
The joy of our heart has ceased.
Our dance is turned into mourning.
The crown has fallen from our head.
Woe to us, for we have sinned!
