'Experience' in the Bible
"These people have denied what the Lord says. They have said, 'That is not so! No harm will come to us. We will not experience war and famine.
We hoped for good fortune, but nothing good has come of it. We hoped for a time of relief, but instead we experience terror.
Then I said, "Oh, Lord God, look! The prophets are telling them that you said, 'You will not experience war or suffer famine. I will give you lasting peace and prosperity in this land.'"
Then I said, "Lord, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah? Do you despise the city of Zion? Why have you struck us with such force that we are beyond recovery? We hope for peace, but nothing good has come of it. We hope for a time of relief from our troubles, but experience terror.
They will be like a shrub in the desert. They will not experience good things even when they happen. It will be as though they were growing in the desert, in a salt land where no one can live.
Why did I ever come forth from my mother's womb? All I experience is trouble and grief, and I spend my days in shame.
Because he has done this," the Lord says, "I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his whole family. There will not be any of them left to experience the good things that I will do for my people. I, the Lord, affirm it! For he counseled rebellion against the Lord."'"
