But if not

“…our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

No Fear in the Lᴏʀᴅ

‘Thus says the Lᴏʀᴅ: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the young men of the king of Assyria have reviled me.’

Trust in the Lᴏʀᴅ

‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: On what do you rest this trust of yours? Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war? In whom do you now trust…?’

No Fear

“Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s”

Strengthened

“But David strengthened himself in the Lᴏʀᴅ his God.”
