Lamentations 4:18 in Context — Lamentations 4

16 A face do SENHOR os dispersou, não os olhará mais: não respeitaram a face dos sacerdotes, nem tiveram compaixão dos velhos.

17 Quanto a nós, desfaleceram-se nossos olhos [esperando] por socorro para nós; aguardávamos atentamente uma nação que não podia salvar.

18 Caçaram nossos passos, de modo que não podíamos andar por nossas ruas; achegou-se o nosso fim, nossos dias se completaram, pois nosso fim veio.

19 Nossos perseguidores foram mais velozes que as águias do céu; sobre os montes nos perseguiram, no deserto armaram ciladas para nós.

20 O fôlego de nossas narinas, o ungido do SENHOR, do qual dizíamos: Abaixo de sua sombra teremos vida entre as nações; foi preso em suas covas.
