Mine eyes failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Mine eyes failed for thy salvation, and for the word of thy justice.
I was wearied in my calling, my throat was dried up: mine eyes failed waiting for my God.
Make with me a sign for good, and they hating me shall see and be ashamed: for thou, Jehovah, didst help me and comfort me.
Hope being forgotten afflicts the heart: and desire coming, a tree of life.
I said, I shall not see Jah Jah, in the land of the living: I shall no more behold man with the inhabitants of the place of rest.
Mine eyes failed with tears, my bowels were in a ferment, my liver was poured out to the earth, upon the breaking of the daughter of my people; in the fainting of the child and suckling in the wide places of the city.
Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, and thine eyes seeing and failing for them all the day: and nothing for the strength of thy hand.
