Lamentaciones 4

Ain. While we were yet standing, our eyes failed, expecting help for us in vain, when we looked attentively towards a nation that was not able to save.

Aun nos han desfallecido nuestros ojos tras nuestro vano socorro: en nuestra esperanza aguardamos gente que no puede salvar.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

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