¹⁵ The angel^(A) of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid^(B) of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

⁶ And you, son of man, do not be afraid^(A) of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns^(B) are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.^(C)

¹⁷ “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say^(A) to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified^(B) by them, or I will terrify you before them.

²⁸ Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One^(A) who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Psalm 27

¹⁵ Elijah said, “As the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present^(A) myself to Ahab today.”
