Lamentations 4:18
They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Lamentations 4:18 portrays a people trapped in desperate straits under siege. Their enemies watch and pursue their steps so relentlessly that movement is cut off and they cannot walk safely in their own streets. Hemmed in by that danger, they recognize their end is near, their allotted days are fulfilled and finished, and their destruction has come.
