Lamentations 4:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
¹⁹ Those who were hunting us were faster than eagles in the sky.
They chased us in the mountains and ambushed us in the wilderness.
