¹⁸ for I do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah.'

⁹ Whoso is abiding in this city -- dieth, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoso is going forth, And hath fallen unto the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you -- liveth, And his life hath been to him for a spoil.

² `Thus said Jehovah: He who is remaining in this city dieth, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth unto the Chaldeans liveth, and his soul hath been to him for a prey, and he liveth.

⁷ Blessed `is' the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.

⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

²² Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

¹² for our being to the praise of His glory, `even' those who did first hope in the Christ,

¹² for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

⁴ Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

⁵ And thou -- thou seekest for thee great things -- do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'

³ An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.

¹¹ Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.

³ Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope `is' on Jehovah his God,

⁶ Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that `is' in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

¹² Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in Thee.

³⁹ And the salvation of the righteous `is' from Jehovah, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

⁴⁰ And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in Him!

³ Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell `in' the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

¹⁸ Lo, the eye of Jehovah `is' to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,

¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

²⁰ and they are helped against them, and the Hagarites are given into their hand, and all who `are' with them, for they cried to God in battle, and He was entreated of them, because they trusted in Him.
