³ Truly, you have been a helper to others, and you have made feeble hands strong;

³ Make strong the feeble hands, give support to the shaking knees.

¹² For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,

⁶ Let your talk be with grace, mixed with salt, so that you may be able to give an answer to everyone.

²⁹ Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

⁴³ And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

²² Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:

⁴ The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

²¹ The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased.

⁷ The lips of the wise keep knowledge, but the heart of the foolish man is not right.

²¹ The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense.

⁵ I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.

²² And kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them full of joy, by turning the heart of the king of Assyria to them to give them help in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

²⁸ But give my orders to Joshua, comforting him and making him strong; for he is to go over Jordan at the head of this people, and he will give them this land which you will see for their heritage.

¹⁹ For I have made him mine so that he may give orders to his children and those of his line after him, to keep the ways of the Lord, to do what is good and right: so that the Lord may do to Abraham as he has said.
