Lamentations 4:17-19

Lamentations 4:17-19
New King James Version
17 Still (A)our eyes failed us,
Watching vainly for our help;
In our watching we watched
For a nation that could not save us.
18 (B)They [a]tracked our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets.
(C)Our end was near;
Our days were over,
For our end had come.
19 Our pursuers were (D)swifter
Than the eagles of the heavens.
They pursued us on the mountains
And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
