"Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel."
En contexte
20So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:
21He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.
22Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
23The joyfulness of the heart, is the life of a man, and a never failing treasure of holiness: and the joy of a man is length of life.
24Have pity on thy own soul, pleasing God, and contain thyself: gather up thy heart in his holiness: and drive away sadness far from thee.
