'Misfortune' in the Bible
Isn't this the way your ancestors acted, causing our God to bring on them and on this city all this misfortune? And now you are causing even more wrath on Israel, profaning the Sabbath like this!"
"Oh, if only my grief could be weighed, and my misfortune laid on the scales too!
Calamity is hungry for him, and misfortune is ready at his side.
"How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished? How often does their misfortune come upon them? How often does God apportion pain to them in his anger?
that the evil man is spared from the day of his misfortune, that he is delivered from the day of God's wrath?
Is it not misfortune for the unjust, and disaster for those who work iniquity?
If I have rejoiced over the misfortune of my enemy or exulted because calamity found him --
Here is a misfortune on earth that I have seen: Wealth hoarded by its owner to his own misery.
This is another misfortune: Just as he came, so will he go. What did he gain from toiling for the wind?
Here is another misfortune that I have seen on earth, and it weighs heavily on people:
God gives a man riches, property, and wealth so that he lacks nothing that his heart desires, yet God does not enable him to enjoy the fruit of his labor -- instead, someone else enjoys it! This is fruitless and a grave misfortune.
I have seen another misfortune on the earth: It is an error a ruler makes.
You should not have entered the city of my people when they experienced distress. You should not have joined in gloating over their misfortune when they suffered distress. You should not have looted their wealth when they endured distress.
