Psa 12:5 Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
I will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
Psa 79:11 Let the groans of the prisoners come before you;
according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die!
Psa 102:20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to set free those who were doomed to die,

Mal 2:13 And this second thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.
