For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favor is life:
weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
They that sow in tears
shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
to sit up late,
to eat the bread of sorrows:
for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
A foolish son is a grief to his father,
and bitterness to her that bare him.
and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
