Bible verse
because of Mount Zion, which lies desolate, patrolled by foxes.
Lamentations 5:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Lamentations 5.
14 The elders have left the city gate; the young men have stopped their music.
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!
17 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.
20 Why have You forgotten us forever? Why have You forsaken us for so long?
21 Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,
22 unless You have utterly rejected us and remain angry with us beyond measure.
