Bitter things in Scripture


Words

Psalms 64:3  

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.

End

Proverbs 5:4  

But in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword.

Deceitful woman

Ecclesiastes 7:26  

I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.

Backsliding

Jeremiah 2:19  

Your wickedness will punish you; your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the LORD your God and have no awe of me,” declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.

Wickedness

Jeremiah 4:18  

“Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!”

Lamentation

Jeremiah 6:26  

O my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
