TUHAN memberi mereka ketenangan, sesuai dengan sumpah-Nya kepada nenek moyang mereka. Tidak ada satu pun musuh yang bisa melawan mereka. TUHAN menyerahkan semua musuh ke dalam tangan mereka.
45 there has not fallen a thing of all the good thing which YHWH spoke to the house of Israel—the whole has come.
Tiada satu pun janji TUHAN yang tidak digenapi kepada bangsa Israel. Dia menepati semua janji-Nya.
