⁵ Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.

³ My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where `is' thy God?'

²⁰ And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And thine eyes have seen thy directors,

⁹ Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,

⁷ My soul is refusing to touch! They `are' as my sickening food.

¹⁶ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lo, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they do drink;

¹⁷ so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity.
