They have sexually abused the adolescents, and the children were corrupted in the wood.

The elders have ceased from the gates, the youths from the choir of the psalms.
15 Kaimae lungthin dawkvah, lunghawi nawmnae a kâhat teh, lamtunae dawk hoi khuikanae koelah a coung toe.
The gladness of our heart has failed, our singing has been turned into mourning.
16 Kaimae lû dawk hoi bawilakhung teh a bo toe. Kaimouh ni ka sak e yon dawkvah, kamamouh koe yawthoenae ao.
The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned.
17 Hote hno dawkvah, kaimae lungthin teh tha ayounnae koe lah, a pha toe. Hote yon dawk kaimae mitnaw hai amom toe.
Because of this, our heart became gloomy; for this reason, our eyes have been darkened:
18 Kingkadi e Zion mon dawkvah, Asuinaw ni a paitun awh.
because of mount Zion, because it was ruined. Foxes have wandered upon it.
19 Oe BAWIPA nama teh, a yungyoe na kangning. Nama e bawitungkhung teh catounnaw e lah a yungyoe a kangning.
But you, O Lord, shall remain for eternity, your throne from generation to generation.
20 Bangkongmaw kaimanaw hah pou na pahnim vaw. Bangkongmaw atueng moikasawlah na pahnawt vaw.
Why would you forget us forever? Why would you forsake us for a long time?
21 Oe BAWIPA kaimouh teh nama koe bout na bankhai haw. Telah pawiteh, kaimouh teh bout ka tho awh han. Yampa e patetlah kaimae a hninnaw teh a katha lah na pathoup haw.
Convert us, O Lord, to you, and we shall be converted. Renew our days, as from the beginning.
22 Hoehpawiteh, nama ni kaimanaw hah na pahnawt han na maw. Kaimanaw hah puenghoi na lungkhueksin han na maw.
But you have utterly rejected us; you are vehemently angry against us.
