Lamentations 4:17

The People Of Zion Speak Out

¹⁶ The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up, Elders they have not favoured. ¹⁷ While we exist -- consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation that saveth not. ¹⁸ They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places, Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our end.
