Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah protests that false prophets promise peace and prosperity in God’s name. Yahweh responds by denouncing those prophets for speaking invented visions. The true prophet is caught between the divine message and the people’s suffering, while the final prayer acknowledges that only Yahweh can provide rain and salvation.

Und du sollst zu ihnen sagen dies Wort: Meine Augen fließen von Tränen Tag und Nacht und hören nicht auf; denn die Jungfrau, die Tochter meines Volks, ist greulich zerplagt und jämmerlich geschlagen.
Decirles has, pues, esta palabra: Córranse mis ojos en lágrimas noche y día, y no cesen; porque de gran quebrantamiento es quebrantada la virgen hija de mi pueblo, de plaga muy recia.
Les dirás estas palabras: “Que mis ojos derramen lágrimas noche y día, sin cesar, porque la virgen hija de mi pueblo ha sido quebrantada con un gran quebranto, con una herida muy dolorosa.
Dis-leur cette parole: Les larmes coulent de mes yeux nuit et jour, Et elles ne s'arrêtent pas; Car la vierge, fille de mon peuple, a été frappée d'un grand coup, D'une plaie très douloureuse.
Di’ loro adunque questa parola: Struggansi gli occhi miei in lagrime giorno e notte, e non abbiano alcuna posa; perciocchè la vergine, figliuola del mio popolo, è stata fiaccata d’un gran fiaccamento, d’una percossa molto dolorosa.
Portanto lhes dirás esta palavra: Os meus olhos derramem lágrimas de noite e de dia, e não cessem; porque a virgem, filha do meu povo, está gravemente ferida, de chaga mui dolorosa.
你要向他們說這些話: 願我眼淚汪汪, 晝夜不息, 因為少女─我百姓 受了重大的打擊, 傷口極其嚴重。
