Psalm 80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure.   

Isaiah 53:11; 54:11-12, 15 Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted, I am about to set your stones in antimony, and lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of jewels, and all your wall of precious stones. If anyone stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.

Romans 8:18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
