Job 4:5, 30:15-31, Psa 88:11-16, Hos 11:8-9, Heb 12:11-12 | ESV | STEP | But now it has come to you, and you are impatient ; it touches you, and you are dismayed .

Job 4:5

5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
it touches you, and you are dismayed.

Job 30:15-31

15 ^aTerrors are turned upon me;
my honor is pursued as by the wind,
and my prosperity has passed away like ^ba cloud.
16 “And now my soul is ^cpoured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17 ^dThe night ^eracks my bones,
and the pain that ^fgnaws me takes no rest.
18 With great force my garment is ^gdisfigured;
it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
19 God ^{▼▼Hebrew He} has cast me into the mire,
and I have become like ⁱdust and ashes.
20 I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;
I stand, and you only look at me.
21 You have ^jturned cruel to me;
with the might of your hand you ^kpersecute me.
22 ^lYou lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it,
and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.
23 ^mFor I know that you will bring me to death
and to the house appointed for ⁿall living.
24 “Yet does not one in a ^oheap of ruins stretch out his hand,
and in his disaster cry for help? ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
25 Did not I ^qweep for him whose day was hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 But ^rwhen I hoped for good, evil came,
and when I waited for light, ^sdarkness came.
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;
days of affliction ^tcome to meet me.
28 I ^ugo about darkened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in ^vthe assembly and cry for help.
29 I am a brother of ^wjackals
and a companion of ^xostriches.
30 My ^yskin turns black and falls from me,
and my ^zbones burn with heat.
31 My ^aalyre is ^abturned to mourning,
and my ^acpipe to the voice of those who weep.

Psalms 88:11-16

11 Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Are your ^adwonders known in ^aethe darkness,
or your righteousness in the land of ^afforgetfulness?
13 But I, O Lord, cry ^agto you;
^ahin the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 O Lord, why ^aido you cast my soul away?
Why ^ajdo you hide your face from me?
15 Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain}
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
your ^aldreadful assaults destroy me.

Hosea 11:8-9

8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
^amHow can I make you ^anlike Admah?
How can I treat you ^aolike Zeboiim?
^apMy heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
9 I will not execute my burning anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
^aqfor I am God and not a man,
^arthe Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath. ^{▼▼Or into the city}

Hebrews 12:11-12

11 ^atFor the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields ^authe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

12 Therefore ^avlift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
