Lamentations 4:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

Ain

¹⁷ As for us, our eyes have failed in seeking our vain help; in our watching we have watched for people that cannot save us.

Tzaddi

¹⁸ They hunt our steps that we cannot walk in our streets; our end came near; our days were fulfilled; for our end is come.

Koph

¹⁹ Our persecutors were swifter than the eagles of the heaven; they pursued us upon the mountains; they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
