“ Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.

My days have slipped by; my plans have been ruined, even the things dear to my heart.They turned night into day and made light seem near in the face of darkness.If I await Sheol as my home, spread out my bed in darkness,and say to corruption: You are my father, and to the maggot: My mother or my sister,where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?

May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.”

For we don’t want you to be unaware, brothers, of our affliction that took place in Asia: we were completely overwhelmed— beyond our strength— so that we even despaired of life.Indeed, we personally had a death sentence within ourselves, so that we would not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead.He has delivered us from such a terrible death, and He will deliver us. We have put our hope in Him that He will deliver us again

so that no one will be shaken by these persecutions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.In fact, when we were with you, we told you previously that we were going to suffer persecution, and as you know, it happened.

If we have put our hope in Christ for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone.
