| 17 | The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness. |

| 20 | Our �God is the �God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death. |
| 21 | Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses. |
