My eyespourdownunceasingly,Withoutstopping,
In the dayof my troubleI soughtthe Lord;In the nightmy handwas stretchedout withoutweariness;My soulrefusedto be comforted.
"You will saythiswordto them, 'Let my eyesflowdownwith tearsnightand day,And let them not cease;For the virgindaughterof my peoplehas been crushedwith a mightyblow,With a sorelyinfectedwound.
"For thesethingsI weep;My eyesrundownwith water;Becausefarfrom me is a comforter,One who restoresmy soul.My childrenare desolateBecausethe enemyhas prevailed."
Their heartcriedout to the Lord,"O wallof the daughterof Zion,Let [your] tearsrundownlike a riverdayand night;Giveyourself norelief,Let your eyeshavenorest.
