O generation, see the Word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, We roam freely; we will come no more to You?

And He said to them, When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing.

And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, But whatever happens, please let me also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?

But whatever the case, he said, Let me run. So he said to him, Run. And Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran Cushi.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret; it only leads to evil.

But he spoke more vehemently, If I need to die with You, I will not deny You! And they all said likewise.
