Lamentações de Jeremias 4:17 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 4:17

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help
Or, "while we were yet" F8; a nation, a people, a body politic, in our own land, before the city of Jerusalem was taken, we were looking for help, as was promised us; but it proved a vain help, none was given us; for which we kept looking to the last, till our eyes failed, and we could look no longer; no help appeared, nor was there any prospect or probability of it, and therefore gave all up: in our watching we watched for a nation [that] could not save [us];
not the Romans, as the Targum, but the Egyptians; these promised them help and relief, and therefore in their watching they watched, or vehemently watched, and wistfully looked out for it, but all in vain; for though these made an attempt to help them, they durst not proceed; were obliged to retire, not being a match for the Chaldean army, and so could not save them, or break up the siege, and relieve them.

Lamentações de Jeremias 4:17 In-Context

15 Desviai-vos! imundo! gritavam-lhes; desviai-vos, desviai-vos, não toqueis! Quando fugiram, e andaram, vagueando, dizia-se entre as nações: Nunca mais morarão aqui.
16 A ira do Senhor os espalhou; ele nunca mais tornará a olhar para eles; não respeitaram a pessoa dos sacerdotes, nem se compadeceram dos velhos.
17 Os nossos olhos desfaleciam, esperando o nosso vão socorro. em vigiando olhávamos para uma nação, que não podia, livrai.
18 Espiaram os nossos passos, de maneira que não podíamos andar pelas nossas ruas; o nosso fim estava perto; estavam contados os nossos dias, porque era chegado o nosso fim.
19 Os nossos perseguidores foram mais ligeiros do que as águias do céu; sobre os montes nos perseguiram, no deserto nos armaram ciladas.
