Do not rebel against the lord, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”
“I will pardon them as you have requested.
Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’ 35I, the lord, have spoken!
The lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the lord.”
Let us, your servants, see you work again;
let our children see your glory.
17And may the Lord our God show us his approval
and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful!
