Lamentations 4:17

The People Of Zion Speak Out

They did not respect their own priests; they did not honor their elders. ¹⁷ Our eyes failed, searching in vain for hope; we kept watching and looking for a nation that would not help. ¹⁸ Our steps were closely stalked, so we couldn't travel on our own streets. Our end is near, our days are over; indeed, our end has come.
