24 And the ^aLord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: ^bfear not, for ^cI am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy ^dseed for my servant Abraham’s sake.

  17 Wherefore, he will ^apreserve the ^brighteous by his power, even if it so be that the fulness of his wrath must come, and the righteous be preserved, even unto the destruction of their enemies by fire. Wherefore, the righteous need not fear; for thus saith the prophet, they shall be saved, even if it so be as by fire.
