2 Samuel 18:33
|
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
|

Job 1:19-21
|
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
|
|
|
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
|
|
|
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
|
|
Proverbs 15:13
|
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
|
|
Ecclesiastes 7:2-4
|
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
|
|
|
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
|
|
|
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
|
|
Hosea 9:12
|
Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
|
|
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
|
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
|
|
|
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
|
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
|
|
|
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
|
|
|
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
|
|
|
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
|
|
|
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
|
|
|
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
