Lamentations 4:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 While we waited for our vain help, our eyes failed: for in our waiting we looked for [a]a nation that could not save us.
18 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled, for our end is come.
19 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, and laid wait for us in the wilderness.
