By his knowledge the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.

A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.

And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, The face thereof was covered with nettles, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

He whose spirit is without restraint Is like a city that is broken down and without walls.
