Lamentations 4:17
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
All the while our eyes were failing as we looked in vain for help. We watched from our towers for a nation that could not save us.
