Lamentations 4:16-18

Lamentations 4:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 The Lord is the one
who sent them scattering,
and he has forgotten them.
No respect or kindness
will be shown
to the priests or leaders.
17 Our eyes became weary,
hopelessly looking
for help from a nation[a]
that could not save us.
18 Enemies hunted us down
on every public street.
Our time was up;
our doom was near.
Footnotes
- 4.17 nation: Egypt, a former ally of Judah.
