Numbers 14:9 (NAS)

Only do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

Numbers 14:9 (NLT)

Do not rebel against the LORD, and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the LORD is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!

Jehovah is your Lord and Master. He is your King and Governor. He is your Captain and Superior. You, therefore, should submit to Him in all things. Do not let yourself revolt and rebel against Him.

Adonai is the only One whom you should fear. Give your honor and respect to Him alone. Do not stand in awe or be afraid of any man, for those of this earth, and not of the household of God, are ruled by darkness.

When they come against you to do battle, do not fear, for the Lord your God has made them food for you. You shall not be devoured, but you shall devour. They do not even have a shadow or shade to protect them. They are mere empty images. These ungodly men have been rejected and will come to an end.

You, however, have not departed from Jehovah. Because you fear and revere Him, you will not be rejected. You will not come to an end, for He has given you His everlasting life.
