Thematic Bible: Of disappointment and grief


Thematic Bible



You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.


I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed wet with tears; I water my couch with my tears.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my flute into the voice of them that weep.

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

My face is foul from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not your peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with you, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?
