New King James Version
14 If (A)He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt;
If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
Lamentations 2:5-6
New King James Version
5 (A)The Lord was like an enemy.
He has swallowed up Israel,
He has swallowed up all her palaces;
(B)He has destroyed her strongholds,
And has increased mourning and lamentation
In the daughter of Judah.
6 He has done violence (C)to His [a]tabernacle,
(D)As if it were a garden;
He has destroyed His place of assembly;
The Lord has caused
The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
In His burning indignation He has (E)spurned the king and the priest.

And I wither away like grass.
Psalm 88:13-18
New King James Version
13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?
Why do You hide Your face from me?
15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.
16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
Your terrors have [a]cut me off.
17 They came around me all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.
18 (A)Loved one and friend You have put far from me,
And my acquaintances into darkness.

13 So are the paths of all who (A)forget God;
And the hope of the (B)hypocrite shall perish,

And whose trust is [a]a spider’s web.
15 (C)He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
16 He grows green in the sun,
And his branches spread out in his garden.
17 His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
18 (D)If he is destroyed from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I have not seen you.’

Job Loses His Property and Children
13 Now there was a day (A)when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house; 14 and a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 when the [a]Sabeans [b]raided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
16 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and [c]consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
17 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, (B)“Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came from [d]across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
