Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law - (Lamentations 3:48; Jeremiah 9:1; Jeremiah 13:17.) Hengstenberg translates, literally, 'Mine eyes come down (dissolved in) waterbrooks.' So the Arabic and Ethiopic. The English version understands, 'from' before "mine eyes." So the Syriac. Ezekiel 9:4. God is pleased with the zeal which His servants show for His honour, as insulted by the transgressors not keeping His law. Indifference as to this argues a want of true love for God. Zeal should be tempered with tenderness of spirit. Indignation at the transgressors should be joined with grief and tears for them (Philippians 3:18).
