Lamentations 5:17

¹⁵ Joy has left our hearts; our dancing has turned to mourning.

¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned!

Because of this, our hearts are faint; because of these, our eyes grow dim—

¹⁸ because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.

¹⁹ You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to generation.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
