Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head; they are mighty who would destroy me, being my enemies wrongfully; what I did not steal, I must now restore.
The most proud will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour everything all around him.
For what credit is it if when you are being beaten for your sins you patiently endure? But if when doing good and suffering for it, you patiently endure, this is favorable before God.
