唉，耶和華的刀劍哪，你什麼時候才能止息呢？回到鞘中，安寧、靜默吧！(耶利米書47:6 標準譯本) Ah, sword of the LORD , How long will you not be quiet? Withdraw into your sheath; Rest and stay still.(Jeremiah47:6 NASB)
也許你的生活就像是爭戰的刀劍，不得止息？
即便如此，上帝不要你亂揮亂砍、見人就打！也許對方是以掃，上帝要你繞過他。你不要看他意氣風發，干親底事？
你們不要挑戰他們，他們的土地連一腳掌之地，我都不會給你們，因為我已經把西珥山賜給了以掃為產業。 (申命記2:5 標準譯本) do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even as much as a footprint, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. (Deuteronomy2:5 NASB)
也不要管那個硬頸、食古不化的臭老頭，因爲這也是上帝的作為。
這樣看來，神要憐憫誰，就憐憫誰；要使誰頑固，就使誰頑固。(羅馬書9:18 標準譯本) So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.(Romans9:18 NASB)
你當注目從上頭來的祝福，傾瀉在你身上！
因為耶和華你的神在你手中一切工作上祝福了你。他知道你走這大曠野，這四十年你的神耶和華一直與你同在，你什麼都不缺。』」(申命記2:7 標準譯本) For the LORD your God has blessed you in all that you have done; He has known your wandering through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have not lacked anything.” ’(Deuteronomy2:7 NASB)
