Public-domain WEB text, free to share." url: https://quote.video/bible-verses/grief --- [Bible verses](https://quote.video/bible-verses) Grief # Bible verses about grief and loss The Bible doesn’t rush grief. It contains a whole book of laments, records Jesus weeping at his friend’s grave, and tells readers to “weep with those who weep.” Alongside that honesty it offers comfort: God is close to the broken-hearted, and death is not the last word. These verses are grouped for the person grieving, for a sympathy card, and for a funeral or memorial. They are from the public-domain World English Bible, so you can print them in an order of service or a memorial video without permission.

Psalm 34:18 (“Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart”) and Matthew 5:4 (“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”) are short and gentle enough for a message. ### What should I write in a sympathy card? 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 speaks of the “God of all comfort”. Numbers 6:24-26 is a blessing that works at the end of a card. Keep your own words short; the verse can carry the rest. ### Which verses are read at Christian funerals? John 11:25-26, John 14:1-3, Psalm 23, Revelation 21:4 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 are among the most common. 2 Timothy 4:7 (“I have fought the good fight”) is often used for someone who lived a long, faithful life. ## More Bible verses by topic * [ Bible verses about healing 27 verses · prayers for healing, healing for a broken heart, promises of restoration ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/healing) * [ Bible verses about hope 25 verses · hope as an anchor, hope while you wait, hope beyond this life ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/hope) * [ Bible verses about peace 25 verses · peace of mind, peace with god, making peace with others ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/peace) * [ Bible verses about strength 31 verses · strength in hard times, strength when you feel weak, be strong and courageous ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/strength) * [ Love ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/love) * [ Encouragement ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/encouragement) * [ Faith ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/faith) * [ Anxiety ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/anxiety) * [ Forgiveness ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/forgiveness) * [ Friendship ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/friendship) * [ Relationships ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/relationships) * [ Life ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/life) * [ Family ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/family) * [ Marriage ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/marriage) * [ Gratitude ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/gratitude) * [ Birthday ](https://quote.video/bible-verses/birthday) ## About the text Every verse is quoted from the World English Bible, a modern English translation its editors have placed in the public domain, as published by [Project Gutenberg (ebook #8294)](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/8294). Only the typography is changed: curly quotation marks, psalm titles and musical notes left out, and an ellipsis where a passage stops mid-sentence. American spellings (honor, neighbor) are the translation’s own. You are free to copy, print and share it.
