"I, even I, am He who ^(am)comforts you. Who are you that you are afraid of ^(an)man who dies And of the son of man who is made ^(ao)like grass,

That you have ^(ap)forgotten the Lord your Maker, Who ^(aq)stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth, That you ^(ar)fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor, As he makes ready to destroy? But where is the fury of the ^(as)oppressor?

When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people: "^(k)Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and ^(l)fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."
