Lamentations 4:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 The Lord himself has sent them away.
He will not take care of them any longer.
Nobody respects the priests.
Nobody is kind to the leaders.[a]
17 Our eyes became red as we watched.
We were looking for help, but it did not come.
The people from other countries could not save us.
18 Enemies ran after us, so that we could not go into the streets any longer.
We knew that we would die soon.
We could not live like this any longer.
Footnotes
- 4:16 Some people were as bad as their leaders, the priests and the prophets. It was sad that good people in Jerusalem also died because of other people's sins.
