"As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation could not save ."
Lamentations 4:17

In context

15They cried unto them, Depart ye; unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn .

16The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.

17As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation could not save .

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

19Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
