Lamentations 4:17

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

Save. The Egyptians attempted it in vain, chap. xxxiv. 8., and xxxvii. 10.

Thomas Aquinas

AD 1274
Here is excluded a tendency for excluding four things which could be evaded. First, is the aid of friends. As was said: "Our eyes failed, ever watching": as we would expect,"vainly for help": from the Egyptians. As Isaiah 30:3 says: "Therefore shall the protection of Pharoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation."

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
