menu_book Verse in Context

9 He was there many days, because great grief continually gripped him, and he realized that he would die.

10 He called for all his friends, and said to them, “Sleep departs from my eyes, and my heart fails because of worry.

11 I said in my heart, ‘To what suffering I have come! How great a flood it is that I’m in, now! For I was gracious and loved in my power.’

12 But now I remember the evils which I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of silver and gold that were in it, and sent out to destroy the inhabitants of Judah without a cause.

13 I perceive that it is because of this that these evils have come upon me. Behold, I am perishing through great grief in a strange land.”
