Lamentations 5:17
So our hearts are weak. Our eyes can’t see very clearly.

Lamentations 1:16-17
“ That’s why I am weeping. Tears are flowing from my eyes. No one is near to comfort me. No one can heal my spirit. My children don’t have anything. My enemies are much too strong for me.”Zion reaches out her hands. But no one is there to comfort her people. The Lord has ordered that the neighbors of Jacob’s people would become their enemies. Jerusalem has become impure among them.

Daniel 10:16-17
Then someone who looked like a man touched my lips. I opened my mouth. I began to speak to the one who was standing in front of me. I said,“ My master, I’m greatly troubled because of the vision I’ve seen. And I feel very weak.How can I talk with you? My strength is gone. In fact, I can hardly breathe.”

Job 7:13-14
Sometimes I think my bed will comfort me. I think my couch will keep me from being unhappy.But even then you send me dreams that frighten me. You send me visions that terrify me.

Habakkuk 3:16
I listened and my heart pounded. My lips trembled at the sound. My bones seemed to rot. And my legs shook. But I will be patient. I’ll wait for the day of trouble to come on Babylon. It’s the nation that is attacking us.

Jeremiah 6:24
We have heard reports about them. And our hands can’t help us. We are suffering greatly. It’s like the pain of a woman having a baby.

Jeremiah 10:19-22
How terrible it will be for me! I’ve been wounded! And my wound can’t be healed! In spite of that, I said to myself,“ I’m sick. But I’ll have to put up with it.”Jerusalem is like a tent that has been destroyed. All its ropes have snapped. My people have gone away from me. Now no one is left to set up my tent. I have no one to set up my shelter.The leaders of my people are like shepherds who don’t have any sense. They don’t ask the Lord for advice. That’s why they don’t succeed. And that’s why their whole flock is scattered like sheep.Listen! A message is coming! I hear the sound of a great army marching down from the north! It will turn Judah’s towns into a desert. They will become a home for wild dogs.
