This is what Yahweh, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies, says: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is Yahweh’s word to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

“It grieves me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments.” Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.

“Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, ‘Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you will go up to Yahweh’s house.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame. The tent of the wicked will be no more.”

You who love Yahweh, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

“It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness!

But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn’t he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”

He answered, “Look, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are unharmed. The appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”

Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.

for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”

for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

When we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.

How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

That night, Yahweh’s angel went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,

You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered him with shame.

Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

I myself am Yahweh. Besides me, there is no savior.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.

I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.

But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,

Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

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

“This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

Then Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunk, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up,” says Yahweh.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”

David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for Yahweh has invited him.

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him and prospered?

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.

Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.

For he says, “Aren’t all of my princes kings?

Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory a burning will be kindled like the burning of fire.

Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.

It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.

How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.” ’ ”

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.”

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
