Verse Concepts
I am weary with my groaning;
Every night I soak my bed with tears,
I drench my couch with my weeping.
“Therefore my lyre (harp) is used for [the sound of] mourning,
And my flute for the [sound of the] voices of those who weep.
For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And have mingled my drink with tears
“My face is red and swollen with weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death [my eyes are dimmed],
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am Your temporary guest,
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?”
