Psalm 31:24

O Simon, Simon! Satan has obtained permission to sift all of you like wheat,

Again Isaiah says, "The descendant of Jesse will come, The one who is to rise to rule the heathen; The heathen will set their hopes on him."

Then, so mighty is his majesty, he will nerve you perfectly with strength for the cheerful exercise of endurance and forbearance in every situation,

So tighten your loosening hold! Stiffen your wavering stand!

As an example, brothers, of ill-treatment patiently endured, take the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord.

for the sake of you who through him trust in God, who raised him from the dead and showed him honor; and so your faith and hope rest on God.
