'Grief' in the Bible

And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.

So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Why is light given to one burdened with grief,and life to those whose existence is bitter,

In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.

If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright;

But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

My eyes have grown dim from grief,and my whole body has become but a shadow.

Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.

In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult.

And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
