Hebrews 12:11-13

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹Now, all discipline, while it is happening, does indeed seem painful, not enjoyable; but for those who have been trained by it, it later produces its peaceful fruit, which is righteousness. ¹²So,

strengthen your drooping arms,
and steady your tottering knees;^[a]

¹³and

make a level path for your feet;^[b]

so that what has been injured will not get wrenched out of joint but rather will be healed.
