Or does their calamity fall on them?

And by Your wrath we have been dismayed.

For what does a man get in all his labor and in his striving with which he labors under the sun?

Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
