5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “calamity” →
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
