SCRIPTURE

"Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission," — Lamentations 3:49 (ASV)

He repeats the same in other words: that his eyes flowed down with tears. He still retains the singular number, but this is common in Hebrew. He then says that his eye without end flowed down, so that there was no rest.
