Rage seizes me because of the wicked who reject Your instruction.

My eyes pour out streams of tears because people do not follow Your instruction.

I have seen the disloyal and feel disgust because they do not keep Your word.

If my head were water, my eyes a fountain of tears, I would weep day and night over the slain of my dear people.

But if you will not listen, my innermost being will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, for the LORD's flock has been taken captive.

But I have not run away from being Your shepherd, and I have not longed for the fatal day. You know my words were spoken in Your presence.

How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I surrender you, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? I have had a change of heart; My compassion is stirred!

Jesus wept.

that I have intense sorrow and continual anguish in my heart.

For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from the Messiah for the benefit of my brothers, my countrymen by physical descent.
