Jeremiah 15:10-21
Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.Yahweh said,“ Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will burn on you.”Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?Therefore Yahweh says,“ If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.“ I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”

Genesis 37:34-35
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said,“ For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him.

Joshua 7:7-9
Joshua said,“ Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies?For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”
-
Jeremiah 20:7-18
Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry,“ Violence and destruction!” because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.If I say, I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.For I have heard the defaming of many,“ Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall.“ Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.But Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying,“ A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.Why did I come out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

Numbers 11:11-15
Moses said to Yahweh,“ Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them out, that you should tell me,‘ Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which you swore to their fathers?’Where could I get meat to give all these people? For they weep before me, saying,‘ Give us meat, that we may eat.’I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.If you treat me this way, please kill me right now, if I have found favor in your sight; and don’t let me see my wretchedness.”
-
Genesis 42:36-38
Jacob, their father, said to them,“ You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”Reuben spoke to his father, saying,“ Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”He said,“ My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”

Lamentations 3:1-19
I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.He has made my flesh and my skin old. He has broken my bones.He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead.He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.He has turned away my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate.He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys.I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.He has filled me with bitterness. He has stuffed me with wormwood.He has also broken my teeth with gravel. He has covered me with ashes.You have removed my soul far away from peace. I forgot prosperity.I said,“ My strength has perished, along with my expectation from Yahweh.”Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
