28:28 When the wicked gain control, 13 people 14 hide themselves, 15
but when they perish, 16 the righteous increase.
41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!
Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! 17
I strengthen you –
yes, I help you –
yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand! 18
41:11 Look, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and humiliated;
your adversaries 19 will be reduced to nothing 20 and perish.
41:12 When you will look for your opponents, 21 you will not find them;
your enemies 22 will be reduced to absolutely nothing.
41:13 For I am the Lord your God,
the one who takes hold of your right hand,
who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, I am helping you.’
54:14 You will be reestablished when I vindicate you. 23
You will not experience oppression; 24
indeed, you will not be afraid.
You will not be terrified, 25
for nothing frightening 26 will come near you.
54:15 If anyone dares to 27 challenge you, it will not be my doing!
Whoever tries to challenge you will be defeated. 28
54:16 Look, I create the craftsman,
who fans the coals into a fire
and forges a weapon. 29
I create the destroyer so he might devastate.
54:17 No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;
you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. 30
This is what the Lord will do for his servants –
I will vindicate them,” 31
says the Lord.
55:10 32 The rain and snow fall from the sky
and do not return,
but instead water the earth
and make it produce and yield crops,
and provide seed for the planter and food for those who must eat.
2:24 Then Daniel went in to see 33 Arioch (whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon). He came 34 and said to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon! Escort me 35 to the king, and I will disclose the interpretation to him!” 36
3:1 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
