Lamentations 4:18

They pursued our steps
from walking in our open spaces (they pursued us so that we could not stay in open terrain).
Our end is near,
our days are fulfilled,
for our end has come.
[The eighteenth Hebrew letter is: צ – tsade. The character depicts a fishhook or a man bowing in humility and often symbolizes righteousness. The word "They pursued our steps" begins with this letter and reinforces the cry for God's righteousness in a difficult situation.]
