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 “Vocês estão imundos!”, o povo grita para eles.“Afastem-se! Não nos toquem!”Quando eles fogem e andam errantes,os povos das outras nações dizem:“Aqui eles não podem habitar”.
16 O próprio SENHOR os espalhou;ele já não cuida deles.Ninguém honra os sacerdotesnem respeita os líderes.
17 Nossos olhos estão cansadosde buscar ajuda em vão;de nossas torres ficávamos à esperade uma nação que não podia salvar-nos.
18 Cada passo nosso era vigiado;nem podíamos caminhar por nossas ruas.Nosso fim estava próximo, nossos dias estavam contados;o nosso fim já havia chegado.
19 Nossos perseguidores eram mais velozesque as águias nos céus;perseguiam-nos por sobre as montanhas,ficavam de tocaia contra nós no deserto.
