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

8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be ^kwith you; he will not leave you or forsake you. ^lDo not fear or be dismayed.”

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

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