Rejoice with Jerusalem; be glad for her, all you that love this city! Rejoice with her now, all you that have mourned for her!

The LORD says, "I will bring you lasting prosperity; the wealth of the nations will flow to you like a river that never goes dry. You will be like a child that is nursed by its mother, carried in her arms, and treated with love.

When you see this happen, you will be glad; it will make you strong and healthy. Then you will know that I, the LORD, help those who obey me, and I show my anger against my enemies."

Her neighbors and relatives heard how wonderfully good the Lord had been to her, and they all rejoiced with her.

When you find it, you are so happy that you put it on your shoulders

In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine respectable people who do not need to repent.

When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, and says to them, 'I am so happy I found the coin I lost. Let us celebrate!'

When he arrived and saw how God had blessed the people, he was glad and urged them all to be faithful and true to the Lord with all their hearts.

If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it; if one part is praised, all the other parts share its happiness.

That is why I wrote that letter to you---I did not want to come to you and be made sad by the very people who should make me glad. For I am convinced that when I am happy, then all of you are happy too.

Perhaps my life's blood is to be poured out like an offering on the sacrifice that your faith offers to God. If that is so, I am glad and share my joy with you all.

In the same way, you too must be glad and share your joy with me.

I am all the more eager, then, to send him to you, so that you will be glad again when you see him, and my own sorrow will disappear.

When I heard all this, I sat down and wept. For several days I mourned and did not eat. I prayed to God,

Three of Job's friends were Eliphaz, from the city of Teman, Bildad, from the land of Shuah, and Zophar, from the land of Naamah. When they heard how much Job had been suffering, they decided to go and comfort him.

But when they were sick, I dressed in mourning; I deprived myself of food; I prayed with my head bowed low,

as I would pray for a friend or a brother. I went around bent over in mourning, as one who mourns for his mother.

I wish my head were a well of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I could cry day and night for my people who have been killed.

and many Judeans had come to see Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother's death.

Jesus saw her weeping, and he saw how the people with her were weeping also; his heart was touched, and he was deeply moved.

Jesus wept.

When someone is weak, then I feel weak too; when someone is led into sin, I am filled with distress.

He is anxious to see you all and is very upset because you had heard that he was sick.

Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are.
