Thematic Bible



“If I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,’

I am weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with my tears.



I am weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with my tears.

Gird yourselves with sackcloth
And lament, O priests;
Wail, O ministers of the altar!
Come, spend the night in sackcloth
O ministers of my God,
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.


You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.


I am weary with my sighing;
Every night I make my bed swim,
I dissolve my couch with my tears.

“Therefore my harp is turned to mourning,
And my flute to the sound of those who weep.

For I have eaten ashes like bread
And mingled my drink with weeping

“My face is flushed from weeping,
And deep darkness is on my eyelids,

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
A sojourner like all my fathers.

My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
