"Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,"
— Hebrews 12:12, World English Bible
“Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;”
“Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees; ”
“Therefore, strengthen your listless hands and your weak knees,”
“Wherefore, lift up the hands which hang down and the feeble knees:”
“For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,”
“Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;”
Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;
