Lamentations 1:16

עַל אֵ֗לֶּה אֲנִ֤י בוֹכִיָּה֙ עֵינִ֣י עֵינִ֔י יֹ֣רְדָ֔ה מַ֔יִם כִּ֥י רָחַ֛ק מִמֶּ֖נִּי מְנַחֵ֑ם מֵשִׁ֣יב נַפְשִׁ֔י הָי֣וּ בָנַ֔י שֽׁוֹמֵמִ֖ים כִּ֥י גָבַ֖ר אוֹיֵֽב׃
ʿal ʾeleh ʾaniy bvokiyah ʿeyniy ʿeyniy yordah mayim kiy raḥaq mimeniy mnaḥem meshiyb napshiy hayv banay shvomemiym kiy gabar ʾvoyeb
King James Version (KJV)

For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.

Modern English

For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears; for a comforter is far from me, one to revive my spirit; my children are desolate, for the enemy has prevailed.
