A person who faces challenges in life is like a tired runner whose hands and knees have become weak. AT: "strengthen yourself like a racer strengthens his body when he is determined to finish a race"

## make straight paths for your feet ##
Obeying God is like walking on a smooth straight path. AT: "do what God wants you to do"
## whoever is lame ##
AT: "whoever wants to quit"
## be led astray ##
"follow someone down the wrong path." AT: "will not decide to do things that are easy but do not honor God"
## rather be healed ##
"instead become strong"
