Remember thee with affection and sympathy, so as to damp my joys. Cleave to the roof of my mouth; be made uncapable of singing, or speaking, or moving, as it is in some diseases. Compare Job 29:10 Psalms 22:15. If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy; if I do not value and desire Jerusalem's prosperity more than all other delights, and consequently if Jerusalem's misery doth not so deeply affect me as to hinder my delight in all other things.
