"Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened: "
— Lamentations 5:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.”
“For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim; ”
“For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;”
“Because of this, our hearts are sick; because of these things, we can hardly see through our tears.”
“Therefore is our heart sorrowful, therefore are our eyes become dim.”
“Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark;”
“For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.”
The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms.
The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning.
The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned.
Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened:
because of mount Zion, because it was ruined. Foxes have wandered upon it.
But you, O Lord, shall remain for eternity, your throne from generation to generation.
Why would you forget us forever? Why would you forsake us for a long time?
