⁵¹My eye affects my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

Lamentations 3:51World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The speaker weeps without stopping, looking for the Lord to see from heaven.

His grief concerns the daughters of his city. He also describes enemies hunting him like a bird, without cause.

Whom does the speaker name as the reason for his grief?
