מַכאוֹב מַכאוֹב מַכאוֹבָה

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
