1  ¹ Oh that my head were waters,

and my eyes a fountain of ^ftears,

that I might weep day and night

for the slain of the daughter of my people!

17  But if you will not listen,

my soul will weep in secret for your pride;

my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with ^htears,

because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

17  “You shall say to them this word:

‘Let my eyes run down with ^dtears night and day,

and let them not cease,

for the virgin daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,

with a very grievous blow.
