29:25 The fear of people 14 becomes 15 a snare, 16
but whoever trusts in the Lord will be set on high. 17
51:7 Listen to me, you who know what is right,
you people who are aware of my law! 18
Don’t be afraid of the insults of men;
don’t be discouraged because of their abuse!
57:11 Whom are you worried about?

and not remember me
or think about me? 19
Because I have been silent for so long, 20
you are not afraid of me. 21
66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who respect what he has to say! 22
Your countrymen, 23 who hate you
and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,
say, “May the Lord be glorified,
then we will witness your joy.” 24
But they will be put to shame.

6:22 “Blessed are you when people 34 hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil 35 on account of the Son of Man!
5:1 Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.
4:12 Although an assailant may overpower 38 one person,
two can withstand him.
Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken.
4:13 A poor but wise youth is better than an old and foolish king
who no longer knows how to receive advice.
4:14 For he came out of prison 39 to become king,
even though he had been born poor in what would become his 40 kingdom.
4:15 I considered all the living who walk on earth, 41
as well as the successor 42 who would arise 43 in his place.
4:16 There is no end to all the people 44 nor to the past generations, 45
