Lamentations 4:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ The face of the Lord parted them, he shall no more lay to, that he behold them; they were not ashamed of the faces of priests, neither they had mercy on eld men (they were not ashamed before the priests, nor did they have any mercy for the elders).

¹⁷ The while we stood yet, our eyes failed to our vain help; when we beheld attentive to a folk, that might not save us. (Yet while we stood, our eyes looked in vain for our help; we looked attentively for a nation, that could not save us.)

¹⁸ Our steps were slidery in the way of our streets; our end nighed, our days were [ful]filled, for our end came.
