Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because they do not keep Your Law.

Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

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!

But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep and cry and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.

Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which is done to me, with which Jehovah has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.

Streams of water run down my eyes for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

My eyes flow and do not cease, with no stopping,

For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and besiege you on every side,

For many conduct themselves, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
