Lamentations 4:17

The People Of Zion Speak Out

¹⁶ Pe The anger of the LORD has separated them; he will never look upon them again. They did not respect the countenance of the priests, nor did they have compassion on the elders. ¹⁷ Yet our eyes failed,
Looking for help was useless;
In our watching we have watched
For a nation that could not save.
¹⁸ Tzaddi They hunt our steps that we cannot walk in our streets; our end came near; our days were fulfilled; for our end is come.
