“ Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

My days are past. My plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.They change the night into day, saying‘ The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,if I have said to corruption,‘ You are my father;’ to the worm,‘ My mother,’ and‘ My sister,’where then is my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”

For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver; on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;

that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.

If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.
