6 ^lBe strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, ^mfor it is the Lord your God who goes with you. ⁿHe will not leave you or forsake you.”

8 It is the Lord ^pwho goes before you. He will be with you; ⁿhe will not leave you or forsake you. ^qDo not fear or be dismayed.”

12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests ^twith their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, ^udo not fight against the Lord, the God of your fathers, for you cannot succeed.”

8 With him is ^qan arm of flesh, ^rbut with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
