'Despair' in the Bible

so that now instead you should rather forgive and comfort him. This will keep him from being overwhelmed by excessive grief to the point of despair.

We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;

Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair.
