God tells the Jewish Nation: Do not fear sudden terror, and do not fear the destruction of the wicked when it comes, for it will not harm you. We tell our enemies, “organize a plan to attack us, but it will be canceled; speak about what you want to do, but your plans will not stand, because God is with us.” God tells the Jewish Nation: I am with you until your old age; I will care for you until you are very old. I have made you and I will carry you. I will care for you and I will save you.
