Bible Comments

Ye shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set yourselves, stand ye [still], and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD [will be] with you.

Ver. 17. Set yourselves, stand ye still.] The soldier's motto is, Nec fugere nec sequi: Neither flee nor follow. the true Christian's is, Nec temere, nec timide. Neither rashly nor fearful. So here, neither fly upon your enemies, nor flee from them.
