9 Have I not commanded you?+ Be courageous and strong. Do not suffer shock or be terrified,+ for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.”+

6 “And you, O son of man, do not be afraid of them;+ and of their words do not be afraid, because there are obstinate ones+ and things pricking+ you and it is among scorpions+ that you are dwelling. Of their words do not you be afraid,+ and at their faces do not you be struck with terror,+ for they are a rebellious house.+
