¹⁴ The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit, who can bear?

³ The foolishness of man perverteth his way, and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

²⁰ Hear counsel and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

²⁷ The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of his being.

21 The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; as the rivers of water, He turneth it whithersoever He will.

² Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

¹¹ He that loveth pureness of heart: for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

¹² Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.

¹¹ If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain—
