Verse 16

For these things I weep{H1058}{(H8802)}; mine eye{H5869}, mine eye{H5869} runneth down{H3381}{(H8802)} with water{H4325}, because the comforter{H5162}{(H8764)} that should relieve{H7725}{(H8688)} my soul{H5315} is far{H7368}{(H8804)} from me: my children{H1121} are desolate{H8074}{(H8802)}, because the enemy{H341}{(H8802)} prevailed{H1396}{(H8804)}.
