broken means weakened, down, no strength. It is the past participle of the verb “to break” whose etymological origin is from the Latin “crepare” which means “break”, “crack”, “crack”.
At Holy Bible, the word “broken” appears in some passages, with the sense of “weakened”. For example, in the book of Job, when he pleads with God: "My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, the grave is prepared for me!" (Job 17:1); or in the book of Psalms: "The Lord is near to them that have a broken heart, and saves the contrite in spirit." (Psalm 34:18). A broken heart is a heart that is not hardened, that has been changed by God.
The word broken was included in several songs, almost all of them from the evangelical context. One of the best known is the song "Quebrantado", performed by the group Vineyard and Juninho Afram.
The term can also refer to an individual who has suffered the action of a quebranto. According to popular belief, quebranto is a type of spell caused by the evil eye produced by some people.
