Bible verse
For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears
Psalm 102:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 102.
5 Through my loud groaning my flesh clings to my bones.
6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake; I am like a lone bird on a housetop.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me; they ridicule me and curse me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears
10 because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.
11 My days are like lengthening shadows, and I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O LORD, sit enthroned forever; Your renown endures to all generations.
13 You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come.
