Job 9:27

If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: I will forget my complaint - I will forsake or forego my complaining. I will leave off my heaviness. Vulgate, I will change my countenance - force myself to smile, and endeavor to assume the appearance of comfort.
