²⁷ Do not be anxious, for when the day of tribulation and anguish comes, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but you shall rejoice and have abundance. ²⁸ The nations shall envy you but they shall not be able to do anything against you, says the Lord. ²⁹ My hands will cover you, that your sons may not see Gehenna.
