But commission Joshua, and encourage him and make him bold; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.

And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. Then they said, Let us rise up and build. So they encouraged their hands for this good work.

Surely you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands.

Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.

But I would assure you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would be restrained.

Ointment and perfume make the heart glad; so does the sweetness of advice from the soul of one's friend.

As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

Make the weak hands strong, and make the feeble knees secure.

Say to those of anxious heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not pained; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to restore his life.

But I have prayed for you, that your faith does not fail; and when you have returned, strengthen your brethren.

Then an angel appeared to Him from Heaven, strengthening Him.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed.
