Lamentations 4:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ They hunt our steps, so that we cannot walk in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come.

¹⁹ Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the sky. They pursued us upon the mountains and laid in wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the Anointed of the LORD, was taken in their nets, of whom we said, “Under his shadow we shall be preserved alive among the heathen.”
