Lamentations 4:17-18

Context
The People of Jerusalem Lament:

ע (Ayin)

4:17 Our eyes continually failed us

as we looked in vain for help. 1 

From our watchtowers we watched

for a nation that could not rescue us.

צ (Tsade)

4:18 Our enemies 2  hunted us down at every step 3 

so that we could not walk about in our streets.

Our end drew near, our days were numbered, 4 

for our end had come!

2 tn Heb “they”; this has been specified in the translation as “our enemies” for clarity.
