'Hardship' in the Bible
Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had befallen them on the journey, and how the Lord had delivered them.
From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom: “Thus your brother Israel has said, ‘You know all the hardship that has befallen us;
“Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness,Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You,Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people,From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.
‘You renew Your witnesses against meAnd increase Your anger toward me;Hardship after hardship is with me.
You have made Your people experience hardship;You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger.
He has besieged and encompassed me with bitterness and hardship.
