Lamentations 4:18
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They stalked our every step, so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had come!
In context
16 The presence of the LORD has scattered them; He regards them no more. The priests are shown no honor; the elders find no favor.
17 All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for help. We watched from our towers for a nation that could not save us.
18 They stalked our every step, so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end drew near, our time ran out, for our end had come!
19 Those who chased us were swifter than the eagles in the sky; they pursued us over the mountains and ambushed us in the wilderness.
20 The LORD’s anointed, the breath of our life, was captured in their pits. We had said of him, “Under his shadow we will live among the nations.”
