Their heart cried to LORD. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give thyself no respite. Let not the apple of thine eye cease.

He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.

Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it upon him.

Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.

Let him give his cheek to him who smites him. Let him be filled full with reproach.

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to LORD.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.

For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her.

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens. They chased us upon the mountains. They laid wait for us in the wilderness.
