Lam. 2:18 in context

Lam. 2:17      Lam. 2:19

Lamentations 2:18

Their hearts cried out to the Lord (Adonai):
"Daughter of Zion [the temple in Jerusalem],
let tears flow down like a river
both day and night.
Give yourself no relief,
do not let your eyes rest (from weeping)."
[Literally "do not let your daughter's eye rest"; for similar expressions, see Ps. 17:8.]
[The eighteenth Hebrew letter is: צ – Tsade. The character depicts a fishhook or a man bowing in humility and often symbolizes righteousness. The word "cried" begins with this letter and reinforces the cry to God in a difficult and desperate situation. In this verse, too, we see how important tears are in the process of grief.]
