Look at the people from long ago and see: Who trusted in the Lord and was put to shame? Or who remained firm in godly fear and was left behind? Or who called upon the Lord, and the Lord overlooked him?

After all, the Lord is compassionate and merciful; he forgives sins and rescues people in a time of hardship.

How terrible it will be for cowardly hearts and idle hands and for a sinner who sets foot upon two paths.

How terrible it will be for the timid heart. Because it doesn't trust, therefore it won't be protected.
14
How terrible it will be for you who have lost your stamina. What will you do when the Lord comes for his inspection?
