My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:

That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
