Thematic Bible



A wicked man writhes in pain all his days;
only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.

For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

In a little more than a year
you overconfident ones will shudder,
for the vintage will fail
and the harvest will not come.


You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,
but You will revive me again.
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.


For all his days are filled with grief, and his occupation is sorrowful; even at night, his mind does not rest. This too is futile.

He feels only the pain of his own body
and mourns only for himself.

But mankind is born for trouble
as surely as sparks fly upward.

The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow.

We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
