Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. I remind you that while final perseverance is necessary, it is extremely difficult. The way itself renders if so. The way to heaven is no smooth-shaven lawn. 1. It is a rough road, up hill, down dale, across rivers, and over mountains. 2. Moreover, the road is long. It is a life-long road. 3. Besides that, the road is so contrary to fallen nature. It is a way of faith. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.WEB: Yet shall the righteous hold on his way.
