“The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?”
Proverbs 18:14 (BSB)
Context Reading
12Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13He who answers a matter before he hears it — this is folly and disgrace to him. 14The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit? 15The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out. 16A man’s gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men.
