Hes 2:3 Und er sprach zu mir: Du Menschenkind, ich sende dich zu den Kindern Israel, zu dem abtrünnigen Volk, so von mir abtrünnig worden sind. Sie samt ihren Vätern haben bis auf diesen heutigen Tag wider mich getan.
Hes 2:4 Aber die Kinder, zu welchen ich dich sende, haben harte Köpfe und verstockte Herzen. Zu denen sollst du sagen: So spricht der HErr HErr!
Hes 2:5 Sie gehorchen oder lassen‘s. Es ist wohl ein ungehorsam Haus; dennoch sollen sie wissen, daß ein Prophet unter ihnen ist.
Hes 2:6 Und du, Menschenkind, sollst dich vor ihnen nicht fürchten noch vor ihren Worten fürchten. Es sind wohl widerspenstige und stachlige Dornen bei dir, und du wohnest unter den Skorpionen; aber du sollst dich nicht fürchten vor ihren Worten noch vor ihrem Angesicht dich entsetzen, ob sie wohl ein ungehorsam Haus sind,
Hes 2:7 sondern du sollst ihnen mein Wort sagen, sie gehorchen oder lassen‘s; denn es ist ein ungehorsam Volk.

Ac 16:22 Et la foule se souleva aussi contre eux, et les préteurs, leur ayant fait arracher leurs vêtements, ordonnèrent qu'on les battît de verges ;

Ac 16:25 Or, sur le minuit, Paul et Silas étant en prière, chantaient des hymnes à Dieu, et les prisonniers les entendaient ;
Ac 16:26 mais, tout à coup, il se fit un grand tremblement de terre, en sorte que les fondements de la prison en furent ébranlés ; puis toutes les portes s'ouvrirent et les chaînes de tous se détachèrent.
Ac 16:27 Et le geôlier s'étant éveillé, et ayant vu les portes de la prison ouvertes, tira son épée, et il était sur le point de se tuer, croyant que les prisonniers s'étaient enfuis ;
Ac 16:28 mais Paul l'appela à haute voix en disant : « Ne te fais aucun mal ; car nous sommes tous ici. »
Ac 16:29 Et ayant demandé de la lumière, il s'élança et se jeta tout tremblant aux pieds de Paul et de Silas,
Ac 16:30 et, les ayant fait sortir, il dit : « Seigneurs, que faut-il que je fasse pour être sauvé ? »

Sk 16:29 A keď si vypýtal svetlo, skočil do vnútra a trasúc sa padol pred Pavla a Sílasa
Sk 16:30 a vyvedúc ich von povedal: Pánovia, čo mám činiť, aby som bol spasený?
Sk 16:31 A oni povedali: Uver v Pána Ježiša Krista a budeš spasený ty aj tvoj dom.
Sk 16:32 A hovorili mu slovo Pánovo i všetkým, ktorí boli v jeho dome.
Sk 16:33 A pojal ich v tú hodinu nočnú, umyl ich od rán a bol naskutku pokrstený on i všetci jeho domáci.

Ez 2:3 A riekol mi: Synu človeka, ja ťa posielam k synom Izraelovým, k spurným národom odbojným, ktorí sa spurne staväli proti mne; oni aj ich otcovia sa mi spreneverovali až priam do tohoto dňa.
Ez 2:4 Sú to synovia tvrdej tvári a zatvrdilého srdca, ku ktorým ťa posielam, a povieš im: Takto hovorí Pán Hospodin.
Ez 2:5 A oni, už či počujú a či nechajú, lebo sú spurný dom; ale zvedia, že bol prorok medzi nimi.
Ez 2:6 A ty, synu človeka, sa ich neboj ani sa neboj ich slov, keď ťa obkľúčia ako bodliaky a tŕne, a keď budeš bývať medzi škorpiónmi. Neboj sa ich slov ani sa neľakaj ich tvári, lebo sú spurný dom.
Ez 2:7 Ale budeš im hovoriť moje slová, už či počujú a či nechajú, lebo sú spurní.
