- I said:
- "And I said,ª° My strengthª and my hopeª is perishedª° from the LORD:ª¹" {Lam 3:18} + "My daysª are past,ª° my purposesª are broken off,ª° [even] the thoughtsª of my heart.ª ... They shall go downª° to the barsª of the pit,ª when¹ [our] restª togetherª [is] in¹ the dust.ª" {Job 17:11-16} + "For I¹ saidª° in my haste,ª° I am cut offª° from beforeª¹ thine eyes:ª neverthelessª thou heardestª° the voiceª of my supplicationsª when I criedª° unto¹ thee." {Psa 31:22} + "I¹ saidª° in the cutting offª of my days,ª I shall go²°¹ to the gatesª of the grave:ª I am deprivedª° of the residueª of my years.ª ... I reckonedª° till¹ morning,ª [that], as a lion,ª so¹ will he breakª° all¹ my bones:ª from dayª¹ [even] to¹ nightª wilt thou make an endª° of me." {Isa 38:10-13} + "Then he saidª° unto¹ me, Sonª of man,ª these¹ bonesª are the whole¹ houseª of Israel:ª behold,¹ they say,ª° Our bonesª are dried,ª° and our hopeª is lost:ª° we are cut offª° for our parts." {Ezk 37:11} + "Forª we wouldª° not,ª brethren,ª have²° you² ignorantª°¹ ofª ourª troubleª which² cameª° to usª inª Asia,ª thatª we were pressed²¹ out²° of measure,ª¹ aboveª strength,ª insomuch² that¹ weª despairedª° evenª of life:ª° ... Whoª deliveredª° usª fromª so greatª a death,ª andª doth deliver:ª° inª whomª we trustª° thatª he willª²° yetª deliverª° [us];" {2Co 1:8-10}
