Lamentations 4:19 in Context — Lamentations 4
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.
21 Goza-te e alegra-te, filha de Edom, que habitas na terra de Uz: porém o cálice também passará por ti; tu te embriagarás, e te desnudarás.
