Lamentations 4:17-19

Darby Translation

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

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

¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens; they chased us hotly upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
