Footnotes

  1. 99 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. 100 Heb “my eyes flow down with canals of water.”
  3. 101 Heb “the daughter of my people,” or “the Daughter, my people.”
  4. 102 Heb “because of the destruction of [the daughter of my people].”
