29 Then I said to you, “Don’t be terrified. Don’t be afraid of them.
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31 and in the wilderness where you have seen how that the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
