¹⁸ Whoever he be who shall rebel against your commandment, and shall not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

⁹ Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.

⁶ Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: don't turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.

²⁵ See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

²⁸ A man who disregards Moses' law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

¹³ Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

¹ Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

² Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

⁴ for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.

⁵ Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn't want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"

¹ Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?

² The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed,{The word "anointed" is the same as the word for "Messiah" or "Christ"} saying,

³ "Let's break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us."

⁴ He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

⁵ Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:

⁶ "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

⁴ Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you: be of good courage, and do it.

¹² The people said to Samuel, Who is he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

¹² The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
