För vår del tynar våra ögon bort då de fåfängt tittar efter hjälp [att gå emot Babylon, se Jer 34:21-22; 37:5-10]. Från våra vakttorn har vi iakttagit ett folk (nation) som ändå inte kan rädda oss. [Istället för att förtrösta på Gud satte Juda sitt hopp till Egypten, se 2 Kung 24:7; Jes 30:7; Jer 37:5-11.] [Den sextonde hebreiska bokstaven är: ע – ajin. Tecknet avbildar ett öga eller en vattenkälla. Den symboliserar ofta profetisk klarsyn och uppenbarelse. Här är det orden ”För vår del” som börjar med denna bokstav. Ordet ögon finns också i versen och här beklagar man att de inte duger till så mycket.]
