16. The crown has fallen from our head [our honor is brought to the dust]! Woe to us, for we have sinned!
17. Because of this our hearts are faint and sick; because of these things our eyes are dim and see darkly.
18. As for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, the jackals prowl over it!
19. But You, O Lord, remain and reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to [all] generations.
