⁵ Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

²⁰ And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

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

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

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 care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

¹⁷ That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.

⁷ The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
