Deuteronomy 32:39 teaches that God both wounds and heals. In the Psalms a wound can be a sickness or a hurt of the heart, and God is the one who heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. In the primary lessons: In first aid lessons you learn to clean a wound, press on it to stop bleeding, and cover it with a plaster or bandage. In stories, heroes and animals are wounded in battles, and words can wound feelings. In everyday life you wind up toys, wool and clocks: «I wound the string around the kite stick». Phrases: «a deep wound», «clean the wound», «wounded pride», «wound up» (wound tightly, or informal: very nervous or annoyed). ### examples - burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
