We certainly pray that we are one of the @father's children and are growing and have grown strong like the palm and the cedar of Lebanon. We pray as we grow old and mature in the Truth that we are still producing fruit. Verse 14 refers to those that are fat and flourishing. I would think that at that period of time there would be older individuals that's teeth are bad and painful, eating would be difficult and older people would be thin and weak. Food for the elderly would be scarce, but with God's help, even the old would be in good shape and still accomplishing good thing.
