Lamentations 4:17

WYC

NIV

17 The while we stood yet, our eyes failed to our vain help; when we beheld attentive to a folk, that might not save us. (Yet while we stood, our eyes looked in vain for our help; we looked attentively for a nation, that could not save us.)
17 Moreover, our eyes failed, looking in vain for help; from our towers we watched for a nation that could not save us.
