So our hearts are weak. Our eyes can’t see very clearly.

这些事我们心里发昏，我们的眼睛昏花。

因这些事我们心里发昏，眼睛昏花。

因这些事我们心里发昏，眼睛昏花。

此情此景使我们黯然神伤，泪眼模糊。

为了这事，我们心里愁烦；为了这事，我们的眼睛昏花；

這些事我們心裏發昏，我們的眼睛昏花。

因這些事我們心裏發昏，眼睛昏花。

因這些事我們心裏發昏，眼睛昏花。

此情此景使我們黯然神傷，淚眼模糊。

為了這事，我們心裡愁煩；為了這事，我們的眼睛昏花；

為了這事、我們心裏發暈，為了這些事、我們的眼昏暗，

緣此我心疲憊、我目矇昧兮、

予因此瞻喪目矇兮。

我心慘怛、我目迷矇、

Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these things our eyes grow dim

For this our heart has become sick, for these things our eyes have grown dim,

Our hearts are sick and weary, and our eyes grow dim with tears.

Because of this, our heart is sick; because of these, our eyes grow dim:

Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;

Because of this our heart is faint; Because of these things our eyes grow dim;

For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

Because of this, our heart is sick; because of these, our eyes grow dim:

For this our heart is faint; for these[ things] our eyes are dim.

Because of this, our hearts are sick; because of these things, we can hardly see through our tears.

For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim.

Israel, why do you want to be beaten all the time? Why do you always refuse to obey the Lord? Your head is covered with wounds. Your whole heart is weak.

I’ve cried so much I can’t see very well. I’m suffering deep down inside. My heart is broken because my people are destroyed. Children and babies are fainting in the streets of the city.

My eyes have grown weak because I’m so sad. My body is so thin it hardly casts a shadow.

I’m so sad I can’t see very well. My eyesight gets worse because of all my enemies.

I’m worn out from calling for help. My throat is very dry. My eyes grow tired looking for my God.

“ Please pay attention to all their sinful ways. Punish them as you have punished me. You judged me because I had committed so many sins. I groan all the time. And my heart is weak.”

They will ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ Then you will say,‘ Because of the news that is coming. The hearts of all the people will melt away in fear. Their hands will not be able to help them. Their spirits will grow weak. And they will be so afraid they’ll wet themselves.’ The news is coming! You can be sure those things will happen,” announces the Lord and King.

“‘ Some of you will be left in the lands of your enemies. I will fill your hearts with fear. The sound of a leaf blown by the wind will scare you away. You will run as if you were escaping from swords. You will fall down, even though no one is chasing you.

What do I see? The Egyptians are terrified. They are pulling back. Their soldiers are losing. They run away as fast as they can. They do not look back. There is terror on every side,” announces the Lord.

Lord, have mercy on me. I’m in deep trouble. I’m so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.

Among those nations you won’t find any peace. There won’t be any place where you can make your home and rest your feet. The Lord will give you minds filled with worry. He’ll give you eyes worn out from looking for help. You won’t have any hope in your hearts.

I cried softly like a weak little bird. I sounded like a dove as I mourned. My eyes grew tired as I looked up toward heaven. Lord, my life is in danger. Please come and help me!

Lord, my heart is weak inside me. You comfort me when I’m sad.

“ He sent down fire from heaven. It went deep down into my bones. He spread a net to catch me by the feet. He stopped me right where I was. He made me empty. I am sick all the time.

People’s hearts will melt away in fear. Many will be wounded or killed. I have prepared the sword to kill people at all their city gates. Look! It strikes like lightning. It is in the killer’s hand.

So I have begun to strike you down. I have begun to destroy you because you have sinned so much.
