Expanded Bible

¹⁵ ·We have no more joy in [^LJoy has left] our hearts;
    our dancing has turned to ·sadness [mourning].
¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head.
    ·How terrible it is [^LWoe to us] because we sinned.
¹⁷ Because of this ·we are afraid [^Lour hearts are sick],
    and now our eyes ·are dim [grow dark; Ps. 69:23].
