Jahaziel said, “Listen to me King Jehoshaphat, all you people living in Judah and Jerusalem! The Lord says this to you: ‘Don’t be afraid or worry about this large army, because the battle is not your battle. It is God’s battle!
Lord, get up! {\cf2\super [10]} \par My God, come rescue me!\par \{You are very strong!\}\par If you hit my bad enemies on the cheek,\par you will break all their teeth.\par
And you will not be afraid of those people who are against you. All of these things are proof from God that you are being saved and that your enemies will be lost.
But you may suffer for doing right. If that happens, then you are blessed (happy). “Don’t be afraid of those people \{that make you suffer\}; don’t be worried.” {\cf2\super [25]}
Don’t be afraid of the things that will happen to you. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison. He will do this to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But be faithful, even if you have to die. If you continue faithful, then I will give you the crown of life.
