Lamentations 4:18 in Context — Lamentations 4

16 La ira de Jehová los apartó, no los mirará más: no respetaron la faz de los sacerdotes, ni tuvieron compasión de los viejos.

17 Aun nos han desfallecido nuestros ojos tras nuestro vano socorro: en nuestra esperanza aguardamos gente que no puede salvar.

18 Cazaron nuestros pasos, que no anduviésemos por nuestras calles: acercóse nuestro fin, cumpliéronse nuestros días; porque nuestro fin vino.

19 Ligeros fueron nuestros perseguidores más que las águilas del cielo: sobre los montes nos persiguieron, en el desierto nos pusieron emboscadas.

20 El resuello de nuestras narices, el ungido de Jehová, de quien habíamos dicho: A su sombra tendremos vida entre las gentes: fué preso en sus hoyos.
