Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not,.... From weeping, as the Targum: the prophet was continually weeping; the distresses of his people were always uppermost in his mind; and which so affected him, that it drew tears from his eyes, which constantly trickled down his cheeks:
without any intermission; or, "without intermissions" (n); there were no stops or pauses in his grief, and in the expressions of it: or it may be rendered, "because [there were] no intermissions" (o); that is, of the miseries of his people; so Jarchi,
"because there were no changes and passing away;''
that is of evils; and to the same purpose the Targum,
"because there is none that intermits my distress, and speaks comforts to me.''
