Sadness & Loss
🌿 Weeping beside Malachi 2:13
When weeping is loud, Malachi 2:13 is a sentence you can borrow. “This again you do: you cover Yahweh’s altar with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, because he doesn’t regard the offering any more, neither receives it with good will at your hand.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Malachi 2:13 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
