And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

For these {things} I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. {relieve: Heb. bring back}

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. {like...: or, (as some read) into smoke}

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. {all...: or, every night}

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, {yea}, my soul and my belly.

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members {are} as a shadow. {my members: or, my thoughts}

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

As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. {gat...: Heb. found me}

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members {are} as a shadow. {my members: or, my thoughts}

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the...: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
