- The LORD himself has scattered them; he no longer watches over them. The priests are shown no honor, the elders no favor.
- Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
- Men stalked us at every step, so we could not walk in our streets. Our end was near, our days were numbered, for our end had come.
- Our pursuers were swifter than eagles in the sky; they chased us over the mountains and lay in wait for us in the desert.
- The LORD's anointed, our very life breath, was caught in their traps. We thought that under his shadow we would live among the nations.
