'Affliction' in the Bible

ג GimelJudah has gone into exilefollowing affliction and harsh slavery;she lives among the nationsbut finds no place to rest.All her pursuers have overtaken herin narrow places.

ז ZayinDuring the days of her affliction and homelessnessJerusalem remembers all her precious belongingsthat were hers in days of old.When her people fell into the adversary’s hand,she had no one to help.The adversaries looked at her,laughing over her downfall.

ט TetHer uncleanness stains her skirts.She never considered her end.Her downfall was astonishing;there was no one to comfort her.Lord, look on my affliction,for the enemy triumphs!

I am the man who has seen afflictionunder the rod of God’s wrath.

ז ZayinRemember my affliction and my homelessness,the wormwood and the poison.

For He does not enjoy bringing afflictionor suffering on mankind.
