Lamentations 4:16-18

Darby Translation

¹⁶The face of Jehovah hath divided them; he will no more regard them. They respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the aged.

¹⁷Our eyes still failed for our vain help; in our watching, we have watched for a nation that did not save.

¹⁸They hunted our steps, that we could not go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.

Lamentations 4:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶The Lord himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.^(A)
The priests are shown no honor,
the elders^(B) no favor.^(C)

¹⁷Moreover, our eyes failed,
looking in vain^(D) for help;^(E)
from our towers we watched
for a nation^(F) that could not save us.

¹⁸People stalked us at every step,
so we could not walk in our streets.
Our end was near, our days were numbered,
for our end had come.^(G)
