…I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me
if I could not be found.
I,
the LORD,
speak only what is true
and declare only what is right.

…the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid,
for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name;
you are mine.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.”
The LORD has given me a strong warning
not to think like everyone else does.
He said,
“Don’t call everything a conspiracy like they do,
and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.
Make the LORD of Heaven’s Armies
holy in your life.
He is the one you should fear.
He is the one who should make you tremble.
He will keep you safe…”
