Lamentations 4:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had they pity on the ancient.

¹⁷ Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not able to save.

¹⁸ Sade. Our steps have slipped in the way of our streets, our end draweth near: our days are fulfilled, for our end is come.
