'Sympathy' in the Bible

Now when Job’s three friends—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—heard about all this adversity that had happened to him, each of them came from his home. They met together to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.

All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to his house and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a qesitah and a gold earring.

Insults have broken my heart,and I am in despair.I waited for sympathy,but there was none;for comforters, but found no one.

Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?Who will show sympathy toward you?Who will turn asideto ask about your welfare?

Then all who see you will recoil from you, saying,“Nineveh is devastated;who will show sympathy to her?”Where can I find anyone to comfort you?
