For his anger endures but a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Those that sow with tears shall reap with joy.
He that goes forth and weeps, bearing the precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to come home late, to eat the bread of sorrows, because he shall give his beloved sleep.
¶ A joyful heart shall do good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
¶ The foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her that bore him.
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall retain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, of which there is no need to repented; but the sorrow of the world works death.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and death shall be no more neither shall there be any more sorrow nor crying nor pain; for the former things are passed away.
