LAM 3:48 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal (All still tentative.)

The writer says Streams of water go down from my eye as an extreme statement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [Many tears flow from my eye]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

פַּלְגֵי־מַ֨יִם֙ תֵּרַ֣ד עֵינִ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: streams_of waters flow eye_of,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in destruction_of daughter_of my_people_of,my )

Here, my eye represents the writer himself as the one who is weeping. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [I weep profusely]
