²¹ See, the Lord your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has told you. ^(A)Do not fear or be dismayed.’

²⁹ Then I said to you, ‘Do not be in dread or afraid of them. ³⁰ The Lord your God who goes before you ^(A)will himself fight for you, just as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, ³¹ and in the wilderness, where you have seen how the Lord your God ^(B)carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place.’

²² You shall not fear them, for it is ^(A)the Lord your God who fights for you.’

⁴ for the Lord your God is he who goes with you ^(A)to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

^6 (A)Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, ^(B)for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. ^(C)He will not leave you or forsake you.”

⁸ It is the Lord ^(A)who goes before you. He will be with you; ^(B)he will not leave you or forsake you. ^(C)Do not fear or be dismayed.”
