9: 36. What shows that suffering did not make Jeremiah bitter? Jeremiah suffered at the hands of the very people he wished to help, yet he did not retaliate or become bitter.
لَقَدْ عَانَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلِٱضْطِهَادَ عَلَى أَيْدِي ٱلشَّعْبِ ذَاتِهِ ٱلَّذِي رَغِبَ فِي مُسَاعَدَتِهِ ،‏ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْتَقِمْ وَلَمْ يُصْبِحْ مُرَّ ٱلنَّفْسِ .‏
