For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
