20 and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job -- they by their righteousness deliver their own soul -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee. In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword. When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh. At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid. (For with sons of the field `is' thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.) And thou hast known that thy tent `is' peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not,
Say ye to the righteous, that `it is' good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
these three men in its midst: I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
All his transgressions that he hath done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth.
Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you.
but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working righteousness, is acceptable to Him;
if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.
