Lamentations 4:16-18

American Standard Version

¹⁶The ^[a]anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more regard them:
They respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders.

¹⁷Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help:
In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
¹⁸They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets:
Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
