Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયાનો વિલાપ ૪:૧૭
અમારી આંખો નિરર્થક સહાયની રાહ જોઈ જોઈને થાકી ગઈ છે, અમને બચાવી શકે એવા પ્રજાની અમે ઘણી અપેક્ષા કરી છે, પણ તે વ્યર્થ થઈ છે.
हिन्दीविलापगीत ४:१७
हमारी आँखें व्यर्थ ही सहायता की बाट जोहते-जोहते धुँधली पड़ गई हैं, हम लगातार एक ऐसी जाति की ओर ताकते रहे जो बचा नहीं सकी।

In context

15“Go away!” they cried to them. “Unclean! Go away! Go away! Don’t touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, “They can’t live here any more.”

16The LORD’s anger has scattered them. He will not pay attention to them any more. They didn’t respect the persons of the priests. They didn’t favor the elders.

17Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

18They hunt our steps, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come.

19Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky. They chased us on the mountains. They set an ambush for us in the wilderness.
