The King James Version Bible

Lamentations 5:15-22

  1. The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

  2. The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

  3. For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

  4. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

  5. Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

  6. Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

  7. Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

  8. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
