There’s something peculiar about the English language: The word, grow, doesn’t always refer to a change of state for the better. Take, for example, the phrase, grow tired or weary, from this passage from Isaiah.
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Praise God, He will not grow tired or weary. And praise God, He is in the business of helping the tired and weary who hope in Him so they might grow strong again.
