But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

2 Corinthians 1 4-2 Corinthians 1 7
who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.They will never be hungry or thirsty any more.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Selah.For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.

In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them: you restore me, and cause me to live.Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Say,‘ He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.

Zechariah 12:10-13:1
I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.In that day there will be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.The land will mourn, every family apart; the family of David’s house apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;all the families who remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.“ In that day there will be a spring opened to David’s house and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.
