I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.

Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; / Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
