From the same as G3559; to put in mind, that is, (by implication) to caution or reprove gently: - admonish, warn.

 Re: Warn, comfort, support

"To him that is afflicted pity [i]should be showed[/i] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty."


- Job 6:14(KJV)



"I am [i]as[/i] one mocked of his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright [i]man is[/i] laughed to scorn."


- Job 12:4(KJV)






When people are hurting, or confused, or distressed, are we quick to give them answers, or speak to them about theology? As if we can answer for God?


I think I have been.


Maybe what they could use more from us, is someone to lean upon. Or to listen to their heart, and their grief.
