⁸ And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

⁸ I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

⁵ So Moses put their cause before the Lord.

⁵ And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;

⁶ But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.

²³ For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

⁴ For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

²⁷ For I have not kept back from you anything of the purpose of God.

⁸ Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

¹⁷ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

⁷ And you are to give them my words, if they give ear to you or if they do not: for they are uncontrolled.

⁵ Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.

⁶ In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.

¹⁴ The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

¹⁷ There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

¹⁵ And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:

¹³ But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.
