Lamentations 4:19

The People Of Zion Speak Out

¹⁸ They hunted our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets;
Our end drew near,
Our days were finished
For our end had come.
¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the Lord’s anointed,
Was captured in their pits,
Of whom we had said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”

For Us

In the Wilderness

In The Desert

Or a refugee who will escape.
