- "The LORDª [is] nighª unto them that are of a brokenª° heart;ª and savethª° such as be of a contriteª spirit.ª" {Psa 34:18} + "He healethª° the brokenª° in heart,ª and bindeth upª° their wounds.ª" {Psa 147:3} + "Because¹ thine heartª was tender,ª° and thou hast humbled²° thyself¹ beforeª¹ the LORD,ª when thou heardestª° what¹ I spakeª° against¹ this¹ place,ª and against¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof, that they should become¹ a desolationª and a curse,ª and hast rentª°¹ thy clothes,ª and weptª° beforeª me; I¹ also¹ have heardª° [thee], saithª° the LORD.ª" {2Kg 22:19} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the highª° and lofty Oneª° that inhabitethª° eternity,ª whose nameª [is] Holy;ª I dwellª° in the highª and holyª [place], with¹ him also [that is] of a contriteª and humbleª spirit,ª to reviveª° the spiritª of the humble,ª and to reviveª° the heartª of the contrite ones.ª°" {Isa 57:15} + "The Spiritª of the Lordª GODª [is] upon¹ me; because¹ the LORDª hath anointedª° me to preach good tidingsª° unto the meek;ª he hath sentª° me to bind upª° the brokenhearted,ªª° to proclaimª° libertyª to the captives,ª° and the opening of the prisonª to [them that are] bound;ª° ... To appointª° unto them that mournª in Zion,ª to giveª° unto them beautyª for¹ ashes,ª the oilª of joyª for¹ mourning,ª the garmentª of praiseª for¹ the spiritª of heaviness;ª that they might be calledª° treesª of righteousness,ª the plantingª of the LORD,ª that he might be glorified.ª°" {Isa 61:1-3} + "For all¹ those¹ [things] hath mine handª made,ª° and all¹ those¹ [things] have been,¹ saithª° the LORD:ª but to¹ this¹ [man] will I look,ª° [even] to¹ [him that is] poorª and of a contriteª spirit,ª and tremblethª at¹ my word.ª" {Isa 66:2} + "And the gloryª of the Godª of Israelª was gone upª° from¹¹ the cherub,ª whereupon¹¹ he was,¹ to¹ the thresholdª of the house.ª And he calledª° to¹ the manª clothedª° with linen,ª which¹ [had] the writer'sª° inkhornª by his side;ª ... And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ him, Go throughª° the midstª of the city,ª through the midstª of Jerusalem,ª and setª° a markª upon¹ the foreheadsª of the men²¹ that sighª° and that cryª° for¹ all¹ the abominationsª that be doneª° in the midstª thereof." {Ezk 9:3-4} + "Slayª° utterlyª oldª [and] young,ª both maids,ª and little children,ª and women:ª but come not nearª°¹¹ any¹ manª upon¹ whom¹ [is] the mark;ª and beginª° at my sanctuary.ª¹ Then they beganª° at the ancientª men²¹ which¹ [were] beforeª the house.ª" {Ezk 9:6} + "Blessedª [are] the¹ poorª in spirit:ª forª theirsª isª° the¹ kingdomª of heaven.ª" {Mtt 5:3} + "The¹ Phariseeª stoodª° and prayedª° thusª withª himself,ª God,ª I thankª° thee,ª thatª I amª° notª asª otherª menª [are], extortioners,ª unjust,ª adulterers,ª orª evenª asª thisª publican.ª ... I tellª° you,ª this manª went downª° toª his²¹ houseª justifiedª° [rather] thanª the other:ª forª every oneª that exaltethª° himselfª shall be abased;ª° andª he that humblethª° himselfª shall be exalted.ª°" {Lke 18:11-14}
