- all these things are against me:
- Alay hayoo cullanah, literally, "upon me are all these things:" rendered by the Vulgate, in me hec omnia mala reciderunt, "all these evils fall back upon me;" they lie upon me as heavy loads, hastening my death. They are more than I can bear. "And Israelª said,ª° [It is] enough;ª Josephª my sonª [is] yet¹ alive:ª I will go²°¹ and see¹ him²° before¹ I die.ª°" {Gen 45:28} + "And Josephª nourishedª°¹ his father,ª and his brethren,ª and all¹ his father'sª household,ª with bread,ª according² to¹ [their] families.ª" {Gen 47:12} + "And Davidª saidª° in¹ his heart,ª I shall now¹ perishª° oneª dayª by the handª of Saul:ª [there is] nothing¹ betterª for me than¹ that² I should speedily²° escapeª° into¹ the landª of the Philistines;ª and Saulª shall despairª° of¹ me, to seekª° me any more¹ in any¹ coastª of Israel:ª so shall I escapeª° out of his hand.ª¹" {1Sm 27:1} + "O rememberª° that¹ my lifeª [is] wind:ª mine eyeª shall no¹ moreª° seeª° good.ª" {Job 7:7} + "Manyª [are] the afflictionsª of the righteous:ª but the LORDª deliverethª° him out of them all.¹¹" {Psa 34:19} + "Betterª [is] the endª of a thingª than the beginningª¹ thereof: [and] the patientª in spiritª [is] betterª than the proudª¹ in spirit.ª" {Ecc 7:8} + "By thisª therefore¹ shall the iniquityª of Jacobª be purged;ª° and this¹ [is] all¹ the fruitª to take awayª° his sin;ª when he makethª° all¹ the stonesª of the altarª as chalkstonesª¹ that are beaten in sunder,ª° the grovesª and imagesª shall not¹ stand up.ª°" {Isa 27:9} + "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" {Isa 38:10} + "Fearª° thou not;¹ for¹ I¹ [am] with¹ thee: be not¹ dismayed;ª° for¹ I¹ [am] thy God:ª I will strengthenª° thee; yea,¹ I will helpª° thee; yea,¹ I will upholdª° thee with the right handª of my righteousness.ª" {Isa 41:10} + "For¹ I¹ the LORDª thy Godª will holdª° thy right hand,ª sayingª° unto thee, Fearª° not;¹ I¹ will helpª° thee. ... Fearª° not,¹ thou wormª Jacob,ª [and] ye menª of Israel;ª I¹ will helpª° thee, saithª° the LORD,ª and thy redeemer,ª° the Holy Oneª of Israel.ª" {Isa 41:13-14} + "Andª immediatelyª Jesusª stretched forthª° [his] hand,ª and caughtª° him,ª andª saidª° unto him,ª O thou of little faith,ª whereforeªª didst thou doubt?ª°" {Mtt 14:31} + "Andª we knowª° that¹ all thingsª work togetherª° forª goodª to them that² loveª° God,ª to them who areª° the¹ calledª accordingª to [his] purpose.ª" {Rom 8:28} + "Whatª shall we²° thenª sayª° toª these¹ things?² Ifª Godª [be] forª us,ª whoª [can be] againstª us?ª" {Rom 8:31} + "There hath²° noª temptationª takenª° youª butª such as is common to man:ª butª Godª [is] faithful,ª whoª will²° notª sufferª° youª to be temptedª° aboveª thatª ye are able;ª° butª will²° withª the¹ temptationª alsoª makeª° a way to escape,ª that yeª may be ableª° to bearª° [it]." {1Co 10:13} + "Forª ourª lightª affliction,ª which² is but for a moment,ª workethª° for usª a far²² more exceedingªª¹ [and] eternalª weightª of glory;ª" {2Co 4:17} + "Be patientª° therefore,ª brethren,ª untoª the¹ comingª of the¹ Lord.ª Behold,ª° the¹ husbandmanª waiteth²° for¹ the¹ preciousª fruitª of the¹ earth,ª and¹ hath long patienceª° forª it,ª untilªª he receiveª° the earlyª andª latterª rain.ª ...
