So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; my heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: "Show me, LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure."
So I remained utterly silent
Psalm 39:9 "I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this."
Job 31:33-34 "... if I have concealed my sin as people do, by hiding my guilt in my heart because I so feared the crowd and so dreaded the contempt of the clans that I kept silent and would not go outside--..."
Psalm 77:4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
But my anguish increased
Psalm 6:3 My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long?
Psalm 25:17 Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish.
Psalm 31:10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.
my heart grew hot within me
Luke 24:32 They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
