9 And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me.
17 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
3 He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit! For theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
4 Blessed [are] they that mourn! For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek! For they shall inherit the earth.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my part forever.
2 For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says the LORD. But to this one I will look, to the afflicted and contrite spirit, and the one who trembles at My word.
18 The LORD [is] near to the broken-hearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit.
10 For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted, but the grief of the world works out death.
11 For behold this same thing (you being grieved according to God); how much it worked out earnestness in you; but [also] defense; but [also] indignation; but [also] fear; but [also desire; but [also] zeal; but also] vengeance! In everything you approved yourselves to be clear in the matter.
15 For so says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity; whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on Me; because the LORD has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to preach the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3 to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.
