Lamentations 4:18

← Lamentations 4:17	Lamentations 4:18 (KJV)	Lamentations 4:19 →
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].	They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.	Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
