Sadness & Loss
📖 Weeping beside Isaiah 28:17
When weeping is loud, Isaiah 28:17 is a sentence you can borrow. “I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Isaiah 28:17 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
