Lamentations 4:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 Our eyes became weary,
hopelessly looking
for help from a nation[a]
that could not save us.
18 Enemies hunted us down
on every public street.
Our time was up;
our doom was near.
19 They swooped down faster
than eagles from the sky.
They hunted for us in the hills
and set traps to catch us
out in the desert.
Footnotes
- 4.17 nation: Egypt, a former ally of Judah.
