^13 (A)Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord ^[a]charged Moses concerning Israel. ^(B)Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

²⁰ And David said to his son Solomon, ^(A)“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. ^(B)He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

^6 (A)Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall ^[a]divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law ^(B)which Moses My servant commanded you; ^(C)do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may ^[b]prosper wherever you go. ^8 (D)This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but ^(E)you^[c] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. ^9 (F)Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; ^(G)do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

⁷ Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, ^(A)if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.’
