Proverbs 18:14 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity, a strong and courageous mind supporting him in bodily sickness or weakness; but a wounded spirit, one bowed and broken by adversity, who can bear? It is a more difficult matter to bear up under the infirmities of the soul, the griefs, sorrows, troubles, and tribulations which affect the inner life than to overcome the effects of bodily weakness.
