12For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,
13And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong.
14Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;
15Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;
16And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.
17For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.
18You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,
