Job 19:21

19:21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity on me,

for the hand of God has struck me.

Psalms 32:4

32:4 For day and night you tormented me;

you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)

Isaiah 48:10-13

48:10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver;

I have purified you in the furnace of misery.

48:11 For my sake alone I will act,

for how can I allow my name to be defiled?

I will not share my glory with anyone else!

48:12 Listen to me, O Jacob,

Israel, whom I summoned!

I am the one;

I am present at the very beginning

and at the very end.

48:13 Yes, my hand founded the earth;

my right hand spread out the sky.

I summon them;

they stand together.
