John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

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" ; 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" ; 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.'

' twgph Nyam "a non intermissionibus", Montanus, Calvin; "sine intervallis", Cocceius.
