My sadness has worn me out.
Give me strength as you have promised.
Psalms 119:28 NIrV
Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire
cannot compare with her.
Proverbs 3:13,15 NKJV
He who heeds the word wisely will find good,
And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he. Proverbs 16:20 NKJV
He wants me to help those in Zion who are filled with sorrow. I will put beautiful crowns on their heads in place of ashes. I will anoint them with oil to give them gladness instead of sorrow. I will give them a spirit of praise in place of a spirit of sadness. They will be like oak trees that are strong and straight.
The LORD himself will plant them in the land.
That will show how glorious he is.
Isaiah 61:3 NIrV
