Lamentations 4:17

New International Version

¹⁷Moreover, our eyes failed,
looking in vain^(A) for help;^(B)
from our towers we watched
for a nation^(C) that could not save us.

Lamentations 4:17

King James Version

¹⁷As 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.

¹⁷Still ^(A)our eyes failed us,
Watching vainly for our help;
In our watching we watched
For a nation that could not save us.

New International Version (NIV)
