¹⁴ Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.

¹⁷ Have no envy of sinners in your heart, but keep in the fear of the Lord all through the day;

² For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.

⁴⁰ And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

¹⁷ And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

¹ Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

²⁰ Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

⁴ Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

¹ A man hating sharp words and making his heart hard, will suddenly be broken and will not be made well again.

¹ Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

⁸ Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

⁸ I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

¹¹ Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

⁴ He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

²³ Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

²² And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.
