¹⁸ For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.

⁹ He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his life safe.

² These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.

⁷ A blessing is on the man who puts his faith in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

²² The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

²¹ Who through him have faith in God who took him up again from the dead into glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.

¹² So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:

¹² All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

⁴ This is what you are to say to him: The Lord has said, Truly, the building which I put up will be broken down, and that which was planted by me will be uprooted, and this through all the land;

⁵ And as for you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Have no desire for them: for truly I will send evil on all flesh, says the Lord: but your life I will keep safe from attack wherever you go.

³ The man whose heart is unmoved you will keep in peace, because his hope is in you.

¹¹ The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.

³ Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

⁴ Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

⁵ Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

¹² O Lord of armies, happy is the man whose hope is in you.

³⁹ But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰ And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

³ Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

¹⁸ See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

¹² For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

²⁰ And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.
