Summary: Sorrow after failure grieves the Holy Spirit.

Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:114

ὅταν ὁ δίψυχος ἐπιβάληται πρᾶξίν τινα καὶ ταύτης ἀποτύχῃ διὰ τὴν διψυχίαν αὐτοῦ, ἡ λύπη αὕτη εἰσπορεύεται εἰς τὸν ἄνθρωπον καὶ λυπεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἐκτρίβει αὐτό.

English · Claude translation

When the double-minded person undertakes some deed and fails in it because of his double-mindedness, this sorrow enters into the person and grieves the Holy Spirit and crushes it out.
