¹³⁶ My eyes ^[a]shed ^(A)streams of water,
Because they ^(B)do not keep Your Law.

9 ^[a](A)Oh, that my head were waters
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For those slain of the ^(B)daughter of my people!

¹⁸ Have them hurry and take up a wailing for us,
So that our ^(A)eyes may shed tears,
And our eyelids flow with water.

¹⁶ For these things I ^(A)weep;
^[a]My eyes run down with water;
Because far from me is a ^(B)comforter,
One to restore my soul.
My children are desolate
Because the enemy has prevailed.”

¹¹ My ^(A)eyes fail because of tears,
My ^[a](B)spirit is greatly troubled;
My ^[b](C)heart is poured out on the earth
^(D)Because of the ^[c]destruction of the daughter of my people,
When ^(E)little ones and infants languish
In the streets of the city.

¹⁸ Their ^(A)heart cried out to the Lord:
“You ^(B)wall of the daughter of Zion,
Let your ^(C)tears stream down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief,
Let ^[a]your eyes have no rest.
