'Misery' in the Bible

Then the Lord said, “I have observed the misery of My people in Egypt, and have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I know about their sufferings.

And I have promised you that I will bring you up from the misery of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.

The people believed, and when they heard that the Lord had paid attention to them and that He had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.

If You are going to treat me like this, please kill me right now. If You are pleased with me, don’t let me see my misery anymore.”

So we called out to Yahweh, the God of our fathers, and the Lord heard our cry and saw our misery, hardship, and oppression.

So they got rid of the foreign gods among them and worshiped the Lord, and He became weary of Israel’s misery.

When he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, “No! Not my daughter! You have devastated me! You have brought great misery on me. I have given my word to the Lord and cannot take it back.”

At the height of his success distress will come to him;the full weight of misery will crush him.

What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

No disaster overcomes the righteous,but the wicked are full of misery.

‘You have said, “Woe is me, because the Lord has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.”’

Do not enter the gate of My peoplein the day of their disaster.Yes, you—do not gloat over their miseryin the day of their disasterand do not appropriate their possessionsin the day of their disaster.
