However, they were terrified and reasoned, “Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?”

Do you have an arm like God’s?
Can you thunder with a voice like His?

Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary while you’re on the way with him, or your adversary will hand you over to the judge, the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison.

He had been very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. Together they presented themselves before him. They won over Blastus, who was in charge of the king’s bedroom, and through him they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king’s country.

But He gives greater grace. Therefore He says:

God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.
