Psalm 51:12, 17

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.... Your sacrifices are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart."

Proverbs 15:2

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly.

Isaiah 54:13, 17

"... all your [spiritual] children shall be disciples [taught by the LORD and obedient to His will], and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.... no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD [those in whom the ideal Servant of the LORD is reproduced]: this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the LORD."

"'when circumstances and failure and blighted hopes combine to convince us that our name is 'Forsaken,' that is the hour to hear the whisper of the Bride-groom to His Bride, with the name that is his alone to give and hers alone to hear'" (238-239).
