Parallel
Lamentations 4:17
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Cum adhuc subsisteremus, defecerunt oculi nostri ad auxilium nostrum vanum ; cum respiceremus attenti ad gentem quæ salvare non poterat.
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.
