'Frustrated' in the Bible

Now when our enemies heard that we knew about their plot against us, and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each one to his work.

“My days are past, my purposes and plans are frustrated and torn apart;The wishes of my heart [are broken].

It is time for the Lord to act;They have broken Your law.

Without consultation and wise advice, plans are frustrated,But with many counselors they are established and succeed.

“For I will not contend forever,Nor will I always be angry;For [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would grow weak before Me,And the breath of those whom I have created.

Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or exasperate your children [with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference; treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not lose heart and become discouraged or unmotivated [with their spirits broken].
