Benefits of Affliction—Humility
Scripture
KJV
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
ESV
If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction.
Job 10:15
Poem
To the heart truly humbled by woe,
The anointing of joy shall be given;
To the tears that from penitence flow,
Shall he given a foretaste of heaven.
