Our eyes

Oh that my head were waters

And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people!

O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
And roll in ashes;

Mourn as for an only son,

A lamentation most bitter.
For suddenly the destroyer
Will come upon us.

But if you will not listen to it,
My soul will sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

“You will say this word to them,
‘Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely infected wound.

Therefore I say, “Turn your eyes away from me,
Let me weep bitterly,
Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

She weeps bitterly in the night
And her tears are on her cheeks;
She has none to comfort her
Among all her lovers.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.

My eyes fail because of tears,
My

spirit is greatly troubled;

heart is poured out on the earth

Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people,

When little ones and infants faint
In the streets of the city.

When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,
