Lamentations 1:16

Over all this I weep.
My eyes, my eyes overflow with water
because my comforters are far from me,
even the one who would refresh my soul.
My sons (children) are forsaken
because the enemy has prevailed.
[The sixteenth Hebrew letter is: ע – ayin. The character depicts an eye or a water source. It often symbolizes prophetic insight and revelation. Here, the word "Above all this" begins with this letter at the start of the sentence, but the word for "eye," which is then repeated twice, also has the same first letter. Since the letter also symbolizes a water source and the tears of the eyes are described as an inexhaustible source that overflows, there is a very clear connection between the letter ajin and the content of this verse. Tears are a sign of the grieving process.]
