Lamentations 4:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ They ^(A)hunted our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets;
Our ^(B)end drew near,
Our days were ^[a]finished
For our end had come.
¹⁹ Our pursuers were ^(C)swifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
²⁰ The ^(D)breath of our nostrils, the ^(E)Lord’s anointed,
Was ^(F)captured in their pits,
Of whom we had said, “Under his ^(G)shadow
We shall live among the nations.”
