So Satan went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and struck Job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:

If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.

"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn't get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?

for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance;

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been put to grief in various trials,
