Lamentations 3:18

3:18 So I said, “My endurance has expired;

I have lost all hope of deliverance ¹  from the Lord.”

Lamentations 5:19

5:19 But you, O Lord, reign forever;

your throne endures from generation to generation.

[3:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and my hope from the Lord.” The hope is for deliverance. The words, “I have lost all…” have been supplied in the translation in order to clarify the Hebrew idiom for the English reader.
