For I eat ashes as if they were bread, and mix my drink with my tears,

我吃过炉灰，如同吃饭；我所喝的与眼泪搀杂。

我吃灰烬如同吃饭，我喝的有眼泪搀杂。

我吃灰烬如同吃饭，我喝的有眼泪搀杂。

我以炉灰为食物，眼泪拌着水喝，

我吃炉灰像吃饭一样；我所喝的与眼泪混和。

我吃灰烬如同吃饭，我所喝的与眼泪混杂。

我吃過爐灰，如同吃飯；我所喝的與眼淚攙雜。

我吃灰燼如同吃飯，我喝的有眼淚攙雜。

我吃灰燼如同吃飯，我喝的有眼淚攙雜。

我以爐灰為食物，眼淚拌著水喝，

我吃爐灰像吃飯一樣；我所喝的與眼淚混和。

我喫爐灰、如同喫飯；我將眼淚和飲料攙雜着喝：

我吃灰燼如同吃飯，我所喝的與眼淚混雜。

我食灰如餅、和淚而飲兮、

余也食塵猶餅、飲涕若水兮、

我食灰塵、如同食物、我所飲者、與淚調和、

頑敵不相饒。終日苦糾纏。惡仇謀吾命。相將立誓言。

For I eat ashes as my food and mingle my drink with tears

I eat ashes as my food. My tears fall into what I’m drinking.

For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink,

I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink

I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tears

For I have eaten ashes like bread, And mixed my drink with weeping

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

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

I eat ashes like bread and mingle my drinks with tears

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

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears,

I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me,“ Where is your God?”

You have given them tears as food; you have made them drink tears by the measure.

Don’t spread the news in Gath! Don’t shed even a single tear! In Beth Leaphrah sit in the dust!

They put bitter poison into my food, and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.

Streams of tears flow from my eyes because my people are destroyed.ע( Ayin)Tears flow from my eyes and will not stop; there will be no break

For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water.

He has given me my fill of bitter herbs and made me drunk with bitterness.ו( Vav)He ground my teeth in gravel; he trampled me in the dust.

He feeds on ashes; his deceived mind misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say,‘ Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’

They will lick the dust like a snake, like serpents crawling on the ground. They will come trembling from their strongholds to the LORD our God; they will be terrified of you.
