Job 3:24, Psa 78:33, 88:15, 102:3-28, Rom 9:2 | ESV | STEP | For my sighing comes instead of my bread , and my groanings are poured out like water .

3 For my days ⁱpass away like smoke,
and my ^jbones burn like a furnace.
4 My heart is ^kstruck down like grass and ^lhas withered;
I ^mforget to eat my bread.
5 Because of my loud groaning
my ⁿbones cling to my flesh.
6 I am like ^oa desert owl of the wilderness,
like an owl ^{▼▼The precise identity of these birds is uncertain} of the waste places;
7 I ^qlie awake;
I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.
8 All the day my enemies taunt me;
those who ^rderide me ^suse my name for a curse.
9 For I eat ashes like bread
and ^tmingle tears with my drink,
10 because of your indignation and anger;
for you have ^utaken me up and ^vthrown me down.
11 My days are like ^wan evening shadow;
I ^xwither away like grass.
12 But you, O Lord, are ^yenthroned forever;
you ^zare remembered throughout all generations.
13 You will ^aaarise and have ^abpity on Zion;
it is the time to favor her;
^acthe appointed time has come.
14 For your servants hold her ^adstones dear
and have pity on her dust.
15 Nations will ^aefear the name of the Lord,
and all ^afthe kings of the earth will fear your glory.
16 For the Lord ^agbuilds up Zion;
he ^ahappears in his glory;
17 he ^airegards the prayer of the destitute
and does not despise their prayer.
18 Let this be ^ajrecorded for ^aka generation to come,
so that ^ala people yet to be created may praise the Lord:
19 that he ^amlooked down from his holy height;
from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,
20 to hear ^anthe groans of the prisoners,
to set free ^aothose who were doomed to die,
21 that they may ^apdeclare in Zion the name of the Lord,
and in Jerusalem his praise,
22 when ^aqpeoples gather together,
and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.
23 He has broken my strength in midcourse;
he ^arhas shortened my days.
24 “O my God,” ^asI say, “take me not away
in the midst of my days—
^atyou whose years endure
throughout all generations!”
25 ^auOf old you laid the foundation of the earth,
and ^avthe heavens are the work of your hands.
26 ^awThey will perish, but ^axyou will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27 but ^ayyou are the same, and your years have no end.
28 ^azThe children of your servants ^bashall dwell secure;
^bbtheir offspring shall be established before you.

Romans 9:2

2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
