Lamentations 4:17

The People Of Zion Speak Out

¹⁶ The face of Jehovah has shared them out; He will no longer look on them; they did not respect the persons of the priests; they did not favor the elders. ¹⁷ While we are, our eyes fail, for our help is vain; in our watching we have watched for a nation; it does not save. ¹⁸ They hunted our steps from going in our streets; our end was near, our days were fulfilled, for our end has come.

For Us
