12 Now stand up straight! Stop your knees from shaking
13 and walk a straight path. Then lame people will be healed, instead of getting worse.

15 Make sure no one misses out on God's wonderful kindness. Don't let anyone become bitter and cause trouble for the rest of you.
16 Watch out for immoral and ungodly people like Esau, who sold his future blessing for only one meal.
17 You know how he later wanted it back. But there was nothing he could do to change things, even though he begged his father and cried.
