約伯記 36:16
"He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.
神也必引你出離患難,進入寬闊不狹窄之地;擺在你席上的必滿有肥甘。
詩篇 66:10
- 12
For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs.
You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
神啊,你曾試驗我們,熬煉我們,如熬煉銀子一樣。
你使我們進入網羅,把重擔放在我們的身上。
你使人坐車軋我們的頭;我們經過水火,你卻使我們到豐富之地。
詩篇 71:20
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的,必使我們復活,從地的深處救上來。
以賽亞書 30:20
- 21
Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
主雖以艱難給你當餅,以困苦給你當水,你的教師卻不再隱藏;你眼必看見你的教師。
你或向左或向右,你必聽見後邊有聲音說:「這是正路,要行在其間。」
約伯記 36:15
But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
神藉著困苦救拔困苦人,趁他們受欺壓開通他們的耳朵。
