—This is the highest pair of man. It was directly imparted by the breath of God (Gen, 2.). Like the soul, it is immortal. In Scripture it is said to be sorrowful (
1 Sam. 1:15
15
And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord. (1 Samuel 1:15)
), contrite (
Psa. 34:18
18
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
) broken (Ps. 51:17), patient (
Eccles. 7:8
8
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. (Ecclesiastes 7:8)
), haughty (
Prov. 16:18
18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18)
), &c., &c. It is the same word that is used for the spirit of God (see SOUL).
