Hebrews 12:12

Verse 12

12. Wherefore In view of the rich harvest of fruit derivable from suffering for righteousness’ sake, our author sounds a trumpet call of cheer and triumph to the racers in the Christian course (Hebrews 12:1-2) who are becoming faint and wearied (Hebrews 12:3) with persecutions in striving against sin. Hands, knees, and feet must be inspired with new life and energy.

Hang down As if from exhaustion.

Feeble As from paralysis.

Paths Wheel-tracks or ruts. These should be straight that the lame might not stumble.

Healed By the even paths and the enlivening influence of the cheer and triumph.
