Lamentations 4:17-20 - The People Of Zion Speak Out
17 Our eyes are still wasting away in looking for our false help. We watch for a nation unable to give salvation.
18 They go after our steps so that we may not go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are numbered. Our end has come.
19 Those who went after us were quicker than the eagles of the heaven. They drive us before them on the mountains. They wait secretly for us in the wasteland.
20 The breath of our nostrils, Jehovah's anointed have been captured in their pits. We said, Under the shadow we live among the nations.
