Lamentations 3:48

Context

3:48 Streams 1  of tears flow from my eyes 2 

because my people 3  are destroyed. 4 

1 tn Heb “canals.” The phrase “canals of water” (eye water = tears) is an example of hyperbole. The English idiom “streams of tears” is also hyperbolic.

2 tn Heb “my eyes flow down with canals of water.”

3 tn Heb “the daughter of my people,” or “the Daughter, my people.”

4 tn Heb “because of the destruction of [the daughter of my people].”
