Lamentations 4:17

The People Of Zion Speak Out

¹⁶ The face of Jehovah their portion; he will not add to look upon them: they accepted not the face of the priests, they compassionated not the old men. ¹⁷ Continuing, yet our eyes will fail, for our help in vain: in our watching we watched for a nation it will not save us. ¹⁸ They hunted our steps from going in our broad places: our end drew near, our days were completed; for our end came.
