Midrash su I Samuele 1:7

“She weeps bitterly at night and her tears are on her cheeks; she has no comforter from all her lovers. All her allies have betrayed her, have become her enemies” (Lamentations 1:2).
“She weeps bitterly at night.” “My tears have been my bread day and night” (Psalms 42:4). Rabbi Aḥa and the Rabbis, Rabbi Aḥa says: Just as bread is constant, so, my tears are constant. The Rabbis say: Anyone who weeps does not eat, as it is stated: “She wept and did not eat” (I Samuel 1:7).
So the Holy One blessed be He said to Ezekiel: “You, son of man, prepare for yourself the tools of exile…” (Ezekiel 12:3). What are “the tools of exile”? Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba and Rabbi Shimon ben Rabbi Ḥalafta, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said: A leather flask, a rug, and a bowl. Each and every one of them must serve two purposes: One places flour in the leather flask and places it beneath his head; one eats and drinks from a bowl; a rug is for sitting and to sleep upon. Rabbi Shimon ben Rabbi Ḥalafta said: A container with four handles that holds everything. Therefore, the Holy One blessed be He said to Israel: “Ezekiel will be an example to you; in accordance with everything that he has done you will do…” (Ezekiel 24:22). But they did not do so, rather, when they were exiled, one came to knead his dough but did not know with what, and he would dig in the ground and make a hole. He would knead it in it, and pebbles would stick to their dough. When he would put it in his mouth, his teeth would become dull, to realize what is stated: “He broke my teeth” (Lamentations 3:16). But I did not take all this to heart.⁵⁷The midrash speaks now from the perspective of Israel. When did I take it to heart? “When they say to me all day long: Where is your God?” (Psalms 42:4).
