⁵ Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

³ My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

²⁰ And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mingled my drink with weeping,

⁷ My soul refuseth to touch `them'; They are as loathsome food to me.

¹⁶ Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

¹⁷ that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
