Lamentations 4:17-19

Lamentations 4:17-19

[17] As for us, our eyes  as yet failed  for our vain  help:  we have watched  for a nation  that could not save  us. [18] They hunt  our steps,  in our streets:  our end  is near,  our days  are fulfilled;  for our end  is come.  [19] Our persecutors  are swifter  than the eagles  of the heaven:  they pursued  us upon the mountains,  they laid wait  for us in the wilderness.
