The angel said, “Don’t kill your son or hurt him in any way. Now I can see that you do respect and obey God. I see that you are ready to kill your son, your only son, for me.”
Praise the Lord, all you people who worship him!\par Show honor to the Lord, you descendants {\cf2\super [133]} of Israel!\par Fear and respect the Lord,\par all you people of Israel.\par
God’s followers, you should love the Lord!\par The Lord protects people that are loyal to him.\par But the Lord punishes people that brag about their own power.\par He gives them the punishment they deserve.\par
After this the people of Israel will come back. Then they will look for the Lord their God, and for David their king. In the last days, they will come to honor the Lord and his goodness.
