Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

My soul loathes my life; I will leave behind my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

For, said Hushai, you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are bitter of soul, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

The heart knows its own bitterness, and a stranger does not share in its joy.

What shall I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has acted; I shall go slowly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast upon him the fury of His wrath, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

And she said, As Jehovah your God lives, I do not have a cake, only a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; and behold, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

A man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner devours it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

Moreover He said to me, Son of man, behold, I will cut off the food supply in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and in horror,

that they may lack bread and water, and be appalled with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity.

Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and anxiety.
