Proverbs 24:10

Verse Proverbs 24:10. If thou faint] If thou give way to discouragement and despair in the day of adversity - time of trial or temptation.

Thy strength is small.] צר כחכה tsar cochachah, thy strength is contracted. So the old MS. Bible excellently: Gif sliden thou dispeire, in the dai of anguyfs, schal be made litil thy strengthe. In times of trial we should endeavour to be doubly courageous; when a man loses his courage, his strength avails him nothing.
