For the thing I had dreaded with terror has come upon me, and what I had feared has come to me.

I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for turmoil came.

If you faint in the day of distress, your strength is small.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not faint.

Therefore we do not faint. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him.

However, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and will he not curse You to Your face!

But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face!

Have pity on me! Have pity on me, O you my friends! For the hand of God has struck me!
