Lamentations:4:17-20
rsv@Lamentations:4:17 @ Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; in our watching we watched for a nation which could not save.
rsv@Lamentations:4:18 @ Men dogged our steps so that we could not walk in our streets; our end drew near; our days were numbered; for our end had come.
rsv@Lamentations:4:19 @ Our pursuers were swifter than the vultures in the heavens; they chased us on the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
rsv@Lamentations:4:20 @ The breath of our nostrils, the LORD's anointed, was taken in their pits, he of whom we said, "Under his shadow we shall live among the nations."
