¹⁷ For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

⁵ Why should you be beaten more, That you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint.

¹¹ My eyes do fail with tears, my heart is troubled; My liver is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, Because the young children and the infants swoon in the streets of the city.

⁷ My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries.

⁷ My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

¹³ Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

¹⁵ I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.

⁷ It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.

²² Let all their wickedness come before you; Do to them, as you have done to me for all my transgressions: For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

¹³ From on high has he sent fire into my bones, and it prevails against them; He has spread a net for my feet, he has turned me back: He has made me desolate and faint all the day.

⁵ Why have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don't look back: terror is on every side, says Yahweh.

¹⁸ Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me.

¹⁴ Like a swallow [or] a crane, so did I chatter; I did moan as a dove; my eyes fail [with looking] upward: Lord, I am oppressed, be my collateral.

³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

⁹ Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

⁶⁵ Among these nations shall you find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of your foot: but Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;

³⁶ "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.
