Lamentations 4:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 The Lord himself has scattered them;
he will regard them no more;
no honor was shown to the priests,
no favor to the elders.(A)
17 Our eyes failed, ever watching
vainly for help;
we were watching eagerly
for a nation that could not save.(B)
18 They dogged our steps
so that we could not walk in our streets;
our end drew near; our days were numbered,
for our end had come.(C)
Lamentations 4:16-18
New International Version
16 The Lord himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.(A)
The priests are shown no honor,
the elders(B) no favor.(C)
17 Moreover, our eyes failed,
looking in vain(D) for help;(E)
from our towers we watched
for a nation(F) that could not save us.
18 People 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)
