Proverbs 12:25

Verse Proverbs 12:25. Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop] Sorrow of heart, hopeless love, or a sense of God's displeasure-these prostrate the man, and he becomes a child before them.

But a good word maketh it glad.] A single good or favourable word will remove despondency; and that word, "Son, be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee," will instantly remove despair.
