Lamentations 4:16

New International Version

¹⁶The Lord himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.^(A)
The priests are shown no honor,
the elders^(B) no favor.^(C)

Lamentations 4:16

King James Version

¹⁶The anger of the Lord hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

¹⁷Moreover, our eyes failed,
looking in vain^(A) for help;^(B)
from our towers we watched
for a nation^(C) that could not save us.

¹⁷As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

New International Version (NIV)
