Lamentations 4:18 in Context — Lamentations 4
16 L’Éternel les a dispersés dans sa colère, Il ne tourne plus les regards vers eux; On n’a eu ni respect pour les sacrificateurs, Ni pitié pour les vieillards.
17 Nos yeux se consumaient encore, Et nous attendions vainement du secours; Nos regards se portaient avec espérance Vers une nation qui ne nous a pas délivrés.
18 On épiait nos pas, Pour nous empêcher d’aller sur nos places; Notre fin s’approchait, nos jours étaient accomplis… Notre fin est arrivée!
19 Nos persécuteurs étaient plus légers Que les aigles du ciel; Ils nous ont poursuivis sur les montagnes, Ils nous ont dressé des embûches dans le désert.
20 Celui qui nous faisait respirer, l’oint de l’Éternel, A été pris dans leurs fosses, Lui de qui nous disions: Nous vivrons sous son ombre parmi les nations.
