'Distance' in the Bible
Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,and my relatives stand at a distance.
You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free.
You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; those who know me leave me alone in the darkness.
As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
Though the Lord is exalted,He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship];But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance.
