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

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

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

Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,“ Where is this God of yours?”

You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.

Don’t tell our enemies in Gath; don’t weep at all. You people in Beth leaphrah, roll in the dust to show your despair.

But instead, they give me poison for food; they offer me sour wine for my thirst.

Tears stream from my eyes because of the destruction of my people!My tears flow endlessly; they will not stop

I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water.

He has filled me with bitterness and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink.He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust.

The poor, deluded fool feeds on ashes. He trusts something that can’t help him at all. Yet he cannot bring himself to ask,“ Is this idol that I’m holding in my hand a lie?”

Like snakes crawling from their holes, they will come out to meet the Lord our God. They will fear him greatly, trembling in terror at his presence.
