5:17a Because of this, our hearts are faint;

Because of all this we’re tired and weary.
-or-
So our bodies feel ill and we feel ill deep inside us. (Easy English Bible)

5:17b because of these, our eyes grow dim—

We can’t see through the tears. (MSG)
-or-
Our eyes are very tired and we cannot hope for good things any longer. (MSG)
