¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in the sky, At the light of your arrows as they went, At the shining of your glittering spear.

⁹ Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

²³ For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

²⁴ saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

¹⁴ Aren't they all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

¹ After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

⁴ His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.

⁷ The angel of Yahweh encamps round about those who fear him, And delivers them.

³² The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to kill him.

³³ Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.

⁷ Bring my soul out of prison, That I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, For you will be good to me.

⁷ Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

³⁰ This shall be the sign to you: you shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of it.

¹ Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yahweh is risen on you.

² Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.

²⁴ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spoke and said to his counselors, Didn't we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, True, O king.

¹⁵ When the morning arose, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, "Arise, take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city."
