You have caused them to eat the bread of tears, And have caused them to drink With tears, a third time.
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; And givest them tears to drink in great measure.
You have fed them with the bread of tears, and You have given them tears to drink in large measure.
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
You’ve fed them bread made of tears; you’ve given them tears to drink three times over!
for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
I refuse to touch it, they are like food when I am sick.
For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mixed my drink with tears,
My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day, “Where is your Elohim?”
O Elohim, why do You forever reject us? Why does Your displeasure smoke Against the sheep of Your pasture?
How long, O יהוה, Would You be enraged forever? Would Your jealousy burn like fire?
Though יהוה gave you bread of adversity and water of affliction, your Teacher shall no longer be hidden. But your eyes shall see your Teacher,
You have wrapped Yourself With displeasure and pursued us. You have killed, You have not shown compassion.
You have wrapped Yourself With a cloud, so that prayer does not pass through.
