1 Corinthians 4 11-1 Corinthians 4 13
Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.

Psalms 38:1-8
Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness.I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

Habakkuk 3:17-19
For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls:yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
