Nehemiah 2:2

2 And the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing but ^asadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid.

17 For I am ^bready to fall,
and my pain is ever before me.

3 ^cThe snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.

13 ^dA glad heart makes a cheerful face,
but by ^esorrow of heart the spirit is ^fcrushed.

17 Moreover, all his days he ^geats in darkness in much vexation and sickness and anger.

18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me; ^{▼▼Compare Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
ⁱmy heart is sick within me.

3 You said, ^j‘Woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain. ^kI am weary with my groaning, ^land I find no rest.’

38 Then he said to them, ^m“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and ⁿwatch ^{▼▼Or keep awake; also verses 40, 41} with me.”
