Lamentations 4:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ The face of the Lord scattered them. He has no regard for them anymore.
    Priests were shown no consideration. Elders were shown no favor.
¹⁷ Our eyes are still worn out, looking in vain for our help.
    In our watchtowers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
¹⁸ They hunted our steps, preventing us from going into the public squares of our city.
    Our end has drawn near. Our days are finished, for our end has come.
