Just be determined, be confident; and make sure that you obey the whole Law that my servant Moses gave you. Do not neglect any part of it and you will succeed wherever you go.

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the LORD your God, am with you wherever you go."

Be brave, Philistines! Fight like men, or we will become slaves to the Hebrews, just as they were our slaves. So fight like men!"

"My time to die has come. Be confident and determined,

If you obey all the laws which the LORD gave to Moses for Israel, you will be successful. Be determined and confident, and don't let anything make you afraid.

You must realize that the LORD has chosen you to build his holy Temple. Now do it---and do it with determination."

"Be determined and confident, and don't be afraid of the Assyrian emperor or of the army he is leading. We have more power on our side than he has on his.

He has human power, but we have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." The people were encouraged by these words of their king.

Trust in the LORD. Have faith, do not despair. Trust in the LORD.

Give strength to hands that are tired and to knees that tremble with weakness.

Tell everyone who is discouraged, "Be strong and don't be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies."

He said, "God loves you, so don't let anything worry you or frighten you." When he had said this, I felt even stronger and said, "Sir, tell me what you have to say. You have made me feel better."

But now don't be discouraged, any of you. Do the work, for I am with you.

"Have courage! You are now hearing the same words the prophets spoke at the time the foundation was being laid for rebuilding my Temple.

Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong.

Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.

As for you, my son, be strong through the grace that is ours in union with Christ Jesus.

"Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun will divide the land for the people.

These are the men that the LORD assigned to divide the property for the people of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Live here, and I will be with you and bless you. I am going to give all this territory to you and to your descendants. I will keep the promise I made to your father Abraham.
