Sick fucks that we are, we like to witness the suffering of others and say, 'sucks to be them.' We bob our heads to the radio as we open up our engines and tear down the now cleared highway, continuing on with our lives as if we didn’t just witness someone’s spine being scraped off the ground.

She became a caregiver, as she had been to her entire family while they were alive and for her ill husband, who according to Scripture, was in so much physical pain that he wished for death (Job 2:12-13, Job 3). Perhaps the words that his wife uttered, was merely her way of ending the pain for her husband whom she had to witness suffering day after day. It only mentions Job’s three friends that came to comfort him. Job’s wife probably did not have a support network of other women to help and assist her. If she did, while they were affluent, these fair weather friends would probably not have wanted to get involved now. The saying: ‘Sympathy says “sorry” and runs away; empathy says “I understand” and stays’, rings so true. She probably subdued her own sorrow and pain and first took care of her husband’s pain. Yet, she, together with her husband, trusted in the goodness of God. And God blessed them.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Paddick Van Zyl" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/paddick-van-zyl/job-s-wife-went-with-her-husband-from-a-comfortable-and-well-supplied/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/343/paddick-van-zyl-36171_bankrupt_job-s-wife-went-with-her-husband-from-a_2844197.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/343/paddick-van-zyl-36171_bankrupt_job-s-wife-went-with-her-husband-from-a_2844197.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/343/paddick-van-zyl-36171_bankrupt_job-s-wife-went-with-her-husband-from-a_2844197.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Job’s wife went with her husband from a comfortable and well-supplied lifestyle to being homeless, bankrupt…” — Paddick Van Zyl", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/witness-suffering/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/witness-suffering/", "name": "Witness Suffering Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/witness-suffering/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d48/cesar-chavez-2137_blood_it-is-clearly-evident-that-our-path-trav_74625.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 5 Witness Suffering quotes by 5 authors.
