11.26 Evening:

The sorrow of the world worketh death.

When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died.―A wounded spirit who can bear?

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?―The Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, . . . to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.―Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Philip . . . preached unto him Jesus.―He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

2Co 7:10 2Sa 17:23 Pr 18:14 Jer 8:22 Isa 61:1-3 Mt 11:28-30 Ac 8:35 Ps 147:3

11.26 Evening:

(II Corinthians 7:10)For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

(II Samuel 17:23)And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.--(Proverbs 18:14)The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

(Jeremiah 8:22)Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of My people recovered?--(Isaiah 61:1-3)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of Righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.--(Matthew 11:28-30)Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

(Acts 8:35)Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.--(Psalm 147:3)He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
