Nehemiah 2:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This can only be sadness of the heart.” Then I was very much afraid.

See the chapter Copy

So he asked Pharaoh’s officers, who were with him in custody in his master’s house, “Why are your faces downcast today?”

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.
