23 And he proceeded to commission Joshua the son of Nun+ and to say: “Be courageous and strong,+ because you—you will bring the sons of Israel into the land about which I have sworn to them,+ and I myself shall continue with you.”
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.+
10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you.+ Do not gaze about, for I am your God.*+ I will fortify you.+ I will really help you.+ I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand+ of righteousness.’+
