Lamentations 4:17-20

17All the whileH5750 our eyesH5869 were failingH3615 as we looked in vainH1892 forH413 helpH5833. We watchedH6836 from our towersH6822 forH413 a nationH1471 that could notH3808 save usH3467.

18They stalkedH6679 our every stepH6806,so that we could not walkH1980 in our streetsH7339.Our endH7093 drew nearH7126, our timeH3117H3588 ran outH4390,for our endH7093 had comeH935!
19Those who chased usH7291 wereH1961 swifterH7031than the eaglesH5404 in the skyH8064;they pursued usH1814 overH5921 the mountainsH2022and ambushedH693 us in the wildernessH4057.
20The LORD’sH3068 anointedH4899, the breathH7307 of our lifeH639,was capturedH3920 in their pitsH7825.We had saidH559 of himH834,“Under his shadowH6738 we will liveH2421 among the nationsH1471.”
