(왕첫 8:33, 34; 시 25:7-11; 51:11-15; 단 9:18, 19) 그들은 회개하는 마음으로 “마음이 꺾”여 “영이 억눌리고 겸손”한 사람들이 되었으며(시 34:18; 51:17; 사 57:15), “영으로 통회하며” 회개를 촉구하는 ‘하느님의 말씀을 듣고 떨’고 있다.
(1Ki 8:33, 34; Ps 25:7-11; 51:11-15; Da 9:18, 19) Repentantly they feel “broken at heart,” “crushed and lowly in spirit” (Ps 34:18; 51:17; Isa 57:15), they are “contrite in spirit and trembling at [God’s] word,” which calls for repentance (Isa 66:2), and in effect, they “come quivering to Jehovah and to his goodness.”jw2019 jw2019
