weakeneth <JOB12 -21> He poureth contempt upon princes, and {weakeneth} the strength of the mighty.
weakeneth <JER38 -4> Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he {weakeneth} the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: 
for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
