Job 17:9

But the righteous man holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger. ¹ 

Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.

"Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

The righteous will move onward and forward, and those with pure hearts will become stronger and stronger.

"But principled people hold tight, keep a firm grip on life, sure that their clean, pure hands will get stronger and stronger!

Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.

Yet the righteous hold to their way, and they that have clean hands grow stronger and stronger.

Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.

But the righteous man holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger. ¹ 

¹ tn The last two words are the imperfect verb יֹסִיף (yosif) which means “he adds,” and the abstract noun “energy, strength.” This noun is not found elsewhere; its Piel verb occurs in Job 4:4 and 16:5. “he increases strength.”
