Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

8:18–9:26 The priests in the Temple expertly memorized and repeated carefully crafted prayers as rituals in the Temple worship. Repeating the precise wording of the prayers was thought to be very important; failure to do so drained the prayers of their perceived magical power. The character of the priests who uttered the prayers was considered of minor importance. The same was true of lamentations. In contrast, Jeremiah’s prayers and lamentations were spontaneous and occupied him to the depths of his being.
Jeremiah and Yahweh have a conversation about the people of Judah.
(Occurrence 0) My sorrow has no end
(Some words not found in UHB: joy,my in sorrow within,me heart,my sick )
The word “my” refers to Jeremiah. The original text is unclear and is interpreted here in different ways by modern versions.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
(Occurrence 0) has no end
(Some words not found in UHB: joy,my in sorrow within,me heart,my sick )
These words are an exaggeration that express the great extent of Jeremiah’s sorrow. Alternate translation: “is very great”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
(Occurrence 0) my heart is sick
(Some words not found in UHB: joy,my in sorrow within,me heart,my sick )
Here “heart” represents Jeremiah, emphasizing his feelings and emotions. Alternate translation: “I feel sick deep down inside me”
