'Complaint' in the Bible

Do not regard your maidservant as a wicked and worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and [bitter] provocation.”

“When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,My couch will ease my complaint,’

“If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,I will leave off my sad appearance, and be cheerful and brighten up,’

“I am disgusted with my life and loathe it!I will give free expression to my complaint;I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

“As for me, is my complaint to man or about him?And why should I not be impatient and my spirit troubled?

“Even today my complaint is contentious;His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

“If I have despised and rejected the claim of my male or female servantsWhen they filed a complaint against me,

Listen to me and answer me;I am restless and distraught in my complaint and distracted

Evening and morning and at noon I will complain and murmur,And He will hear my voice.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;Guard my life from the terror of the enemy.

I pour out my complaint before Him;I declare my trouble before Him.

I will stand at my guard postAnd station myself on the tower;And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me,And what answer I will give [as His spokesman] when I am reproved.
