Thematic Bible: Of disappointment and grief


Thematic Bible



Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:


I am wearied with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of weepers.

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

My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
