2 Chronicles 10:7

New American Bible - revised edition

They replied, “If you will deal kindly with this people and please them, giving them a favorable reply, they will be your servants forever.”

See the chapter Copy

“Naphtali is a hind let loose, which brings forth lovely fawns.

They replied, “If today you become the servant of this people and serve them, and give them a favorable answer, they will be your servants forever.”

A mild answer turns back wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
