Parallel
Lamentations 4:17
Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible
ἔτι ὄντων ἡμῶν ἐξέλιπον οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν μάταια ἀποσκοπευόντων ἡμῶν ἀπεσκοπεύσαμεν εἰς ἔθνος οὐ σῷζον
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.
