21 And Jehovah was going ahead of them in the daytime in a pillar of cloud to lead them by the way,+ and in the nighttime in a pillar of fire to give them light to go in the daytime and nighttime.+
5 Nobody will take a firm stand before you all the days of your life.+ Just as I proved to be with Moses I shall prove to be with you.+ I shall neither desert you nor leave you entirely.+
9 During all their distress it was distressing to him.*+ And his own personal messenger* saved them.+ In his love and in his compassion he himself repurchased them,+ and he proceeded to lift them up and carry them all the days of long ago.+
