Lamentations 4:18-20

21st Century King James Version

¹⁸ They hunt our steps, that we cannot go 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 heavens; they pursued us upon the mountains, they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, “Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.”
