15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, and whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy {place}, and with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
3 Blessed {are} the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Blessed they that mourn, for *they* shall be comforted.
5 Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth.
1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because Jehovah hath anointed me to announce glad tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, that beauty should be given unto them instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: God is the rock of my heart and my portion for ever.
9 And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for {my} power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.
2 Even all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.
10 For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death.
11 For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but {what} excusing {of yourselves}, but {what} indignation, but {what} fear, but {what} ardent desire, but {what} zeal, but {what} vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.
