Matthew 18:18-20
English Standard Version
18 Truly, I say to you, (A)whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[a] in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you (B)agree on earth about anything they ask, (C)it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are (D)gathered in my name, (E)there am I among them.”

English Standard Version
10 (A)Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
(B)and led you forty years in the wilderness,
(C)to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for (D)Nazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites (E)drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, (F)‘You shall not prophesy.’
13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 (G)Flight shall perish from the swift,
(H)and the strong shall not retain his strength,
(I)nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is (J)swift of foot shall not save himself,
(K)nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord.
