Wounded Spirit

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

• Disease

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

• Wisdom

The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
