For all such as put their confidence in Idols shall surely perish: but those that rest upon Gods word and promise shall assuredly be saved. I grant they must suffer many and tedious afflictions, yet they shall not be ashamed nor confounded: for God in the end will show that this difference which he puts between them that trust in him, and those that trust in Idols was not in vain.
