⁷ Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;

³ And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

¹² Yes, and all whose purpose is to be living in the knowledge of God in Christ Jesus, will be cruelly attacked.

⁸ For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

⁹ Yes, we ourselves have had the answer of death in ourselves, so that our hope might not be in ourselves, but in God who is able to give life to the dead:

¹⁰ Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

⁴ Who gives us comfort in all our troubles, so that we may be able to give comfort to others who are in trouble, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

²² Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

³³ I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

¹⁶ See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.

²⁶ And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁶ For his God is his teacher, giving him the knowledge of these things.

¹¹ Wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you;

⁴ Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

⁵ All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

⁶ Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;

² From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

⁴ My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.

⁵ Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.

¹³ False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.

⁴ The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.

⁵ The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

¹⁰ And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.

¹¹ Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
