Lamentations 3:50

Waiting on GodPrayerHope

48 Streams of tears flow from my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49 My eyes overflow unceasingly, without relief,

until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees.

51 My eyes bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.

52 Without cause my enemies hunted me like a bird.
