Lamentations 4:18-20

18The enemy hunted our steps, So that we could not walk in our streets; Our end drew near, Our days were finished For our end had come.

19Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They pursued us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.

20The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord [our king], Was captured in their snares, He of whom we had said, “Under his shadow We shall live among the nations.”
