Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Du skal bygges på rettferdighet. Undertrykkelse skal være langt borte fra deg, for du skal ikke være redd for noe. Redsel skal ikke komme nær deg. Noen vil kanskje samle seg til kamp mot deg, men det er ikke iscenesatt av Meg. Derfor vil hver den som angriper deg, falle for deg. Jeg har skapt smeden som blåser på glørne og som finner fram redskapet han trenger til arbeidet sitt. Det er Jeg som har tillatt ødeleggeren å gjøre skade.
