Thus says the Lord God that made you, and He that formed you from the womb; You shall yet be helped; fear not, My servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.

Fear not; for I am with you; wander not; for I am your God, who has strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with My righteous right hand.

You shall seek them, and you shall not find the men who shall insolently rage against you; for they shall be as if they were not, and they that war against you shall not be.

Fear not, Jacob, [and you] Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, He that redeems you, O Israel.

And you shall not be afraid of alarm coming upon you, neither of approaching attacks of ungodly men.

For the Lord shall be over all your ways, and He shall establish your foot, that you not be moved.

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way; for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek Him, for good; but His power and His wrath [are] upon all that forsake Him.

But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what things must come to pass in the last days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are as follows:

And the king answered and said to Daniel, Truly your God is a God of gods, and Lord of kings, who reveals mysteries; for you have been able to reveal this mystery.

Then Shadrach, Meshach [and] Abed-Nego answered and said to King Nebuchadnezzar, We have no need to answer you concerning this matter.

But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we [will] not serve your gods, neither [will we] worship the image which you have set up.

And he commanded mighty men to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and to cast [them] into the burning fiery furnace.

forasmuch as the king's word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceedingly hot.

And Nebuchadnezzar heard them singing praises. And he wondered, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? And they said to the king, Yes, O king.

Then Nebuchadnezzar drew near to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-Nego, you servants of the Most High God, proceed forth, and come here. So Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-Nego, came forth out of the midst of the fire.

And King Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, [and] Abed-Nego, who has sent His angel, and delivered His servants, because they trusted in Him; and they have changed the king's word, and delivered their bodies to be burned, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

and they shall drive you forth from men, and your dwelling shall be with the wild beasts, and they shall feed you with grass like an ox, and you shall have your lodging under the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High is Lord of the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

And you have exalted yourself against the Lord God of heaven; and they have brought before you the vessels of His house, and you, your nobles, your mistresses, and your concubines have drunk wine out of them; and you have praised the gods of gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, and which hear not, and know not: and the God who holds your breath in His hand and owns all your ways, you have not glorified.

And this is the ordered writing: Mene, Tekel, Peres.

Tekel; it has been weighed in the balance, and found wanting.

Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom.

My God has sent His angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before Him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

and saying, "Men! Why are you doing these things? We men are of the same nature as you, preaching the gospel to you, that you must turn from these useless things to turn to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them,

for as I passed by and considered the objects of your worship, I found also an altar on which it had been inscribed: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, [Him] whom being ignorant of you worship, this [One] I announce to you:

nor by the hands of men is He served, as though He needed anything, for He gives to all life, and breath, with respect to all things.

[in order for them] to seek the Lord, if perhaps indeed they might grope for Him and find [Him], and yet being indeed not far from each one of us;

"Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and the imagination of man.

because He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He appointed, having given proof to all, by raising Him from the dead."

So therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every impediment, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and we declare to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the First and I am the Last; beside Me there is no God.

For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside Me; I strengthened you, and you have not known Me.

That they that [come] from the east and they that [come] from the west may know that there is no God but Me. I am the Lord God, and there is none beside.

and remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none besides Me,

So that you should know that the Lord your God, He is God, and there is none beside Him.

And you shall know this day, and shall consider in your heart, that the Lord your God, He [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth below, and there is none else but He.

Behold I, even I, am [He], and there is no God beside Me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will smite, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of My hands.

For there is none holy like the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides You.

Who [is] strong, but the Lord? And who will be a Creator except our God?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I and the Father are one."

[As for God], His works [are] true, and all His ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in Him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.

For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.

For who is God but the Lord? And who is a God except our God?
