Baruch Weeps for Zion’s Sorrow
Open in the reader →1And I, Baruch, went to the holy gate, and sat down in humility, and I wept and said: “O my eyes, become springs, and eyelids of water, a fountain of tears. For how can I find rest over Zion? And how can I weep for Jerusalem? For the people whom I nourished and who were formerly greater than I in vision have been shaken with trembling.”
