Lamentations 4:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ Sade. Our steps have slipped in the way of our streets, our end draweth near: our days are fulfilled, for our end is come.

¹⁹ Coph. Our persecutors were swifter than the eagles of the air: they pursued us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ Res. The breath of our mouth, Christ the Lord, is taken in our sins: to whom we said: Under thy shadow we shall live among the Gentiles.
