5 Bible Verses about Gall

And her speech is smoother than oil;

But in the end she is bitter like [the extract of] wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.

You know my reproach and my shame and my dishonor [how I am insulted];
My adversaries are all before You [each one fully known].

And for comforters, but I found none.

They (self-righteous hypocrites) also gave me gall [poisonous and bitter] for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

To enter my inner parts.

I have become the [object of] ridicule to all my people,
And [the subject of] their mocking song all the day.

He has filled me with bitterness;
He has made me drunk with wormwood (bitterness).

“I was [living] at ease, but He crushed me and broke me apart,
And He has seized me by the neck and has shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His target.

“His arrows surround me.
He pierces my kidneys (vital organs) without mercy;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
