And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

“Fear not, you worm Jacob, You men of Israel! I will help you,” says the Lord And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

The Redeemer of Israel

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west;

Thus says the Lord who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: ‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things!

“Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.”

Submission to Masters

Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.
