Lamentations 4:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶ Yahweh himself has scattered them.
    He will no longer look favorably on them.
        They no longer respected the priests,
            nor did they honor their older leaders.”

¹⁷ “We are still straining our eyes, trying in vain to find help.
    We waited and waited for a nation that didn’t save us.
¹⁸ The enemy kept tracking us down,
    so we couldn’t even go out into the streets.
        Our end was near.
        Our time was up.
        Our end had come.
