You must not go about as a slanderer among your people. You must not stand idly by when your neighbor's life is at stake. I am the Lord.

But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from Yahweh our God to preserve a remnant for us and give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our slavery, God has given us new life and light to our eyes.

Repent! Let there be no injustice; Change your ways! My vindication is at stake.

And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will become far richer than all of them. When he becomes strong through his riches he will stir up the whole empire against the realm of Greece.
