Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 4 of Lamentations. Persecution reaches the survivors to the point that public life becomes impossible. The king, traditionally a figure of protection, cannot escape either. The image of being trapped by enemies confirms the complete failure of political and military defenses.

Unsre Verfolger waren schneller denn die Adler unter dem Himmel; auf den Bergen haben sie uns verfolgt und in der Wüste auf uns gelauert.
Ligeros fueron nuestros perseguidores más que las águilas del cielo: Sobre los montes nos persiguieron, en el desierto nos pusieron emboscada.
Nos persécuteurs étaient plus légers Que les aigles du ciel; Ils nous ont poursuivis sur les montagnes, Ils nous ont dressé des embûches dans le désert.
Quelli che ci hanno perseguiti Sono stati più leggieri che le aquile del cielo; Ci son corsi dietro in su i monti, Ci han posti agguati nel deserto.
Os nossos perseguidores foram mais ligeiros do que as águias dos céus; sobre os montes nos perseguiram, no deserto nos armaram ciladas.
追趕我們的比空中的鷹更快; 他們在山上追逼我們, 在曠野埋伏,等候我們。
