And thou shalt say to them this word, Mine eyes lead down a tear by night and day, and be it not still; for the virgin, the daughter of my people, is defouled by great defouling, with the worst wound greatly.
Therefore I am weeping, and mine eye is leading down water; for a comforter, converting my soul, is made far from me; my sons be made lost, for the enemy had the mastery.
The heart of them cried to the Lord, on the walls of the daughter of Zion; lead thou forth tears as a strand [or a stream], by day and night; give thou not rest to thee, neither the apple of thine eye be still.
