And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I have tasted a little of this honey.

And they drove back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon; and the people were very faint.

And the people rushed upon the spoils, and took sheep, oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate with the blood.

We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Therefore we do not faint. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not faint.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so persistently harasses us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.
