Bɔt Gɔd bin fri dɛn ɛn mek Fɛro drawn na di Rɛd Si.

Bɔt Jiova nɔ bin alaw Ɛrɔd fɔ du wetin i plan. “Jiova in enjɛl mek i sik,” ɛn i day.—Akt 12:​1-5, 21-23.

¹⁴ Bɔku tɛm, Jiova dɔn pruv se in na di Wan we De Pantap Ɔlman! Wantɛm,  Kiŋ Nɛbyukadnɛza na Babilɔn bin bost bɔt ‘in pawa ɛn di we aw pipul dɛn de kɔle ɛn rɛspɛkt am.’ I nɔ bin put insɛf dɔŋ ɛn gri se na Jiova na di Wan we fit fɔ gɛt di prez, so Gɔd bin mek i kres.

¹⁵ Wan pan di man dɛn we rayt di sam buk bin se: “PAPA GƆD [“Jiova,” NWT] nɔ de mek wetin pipul plan bi wans nɔto wetin in want dɛn fɔ du.” I tɔk bak se: “Di neshɔn we dɛn Gɔd na Jiova gɛt gladi-at, di pipul dɛn we i dɔn pik fɔ bi in yon prɔpati.” (Sam 33:​10, 12, NWT) Dis na gud rizin we fɔ mek wi kɔntinyu fɔ waka tret wit Jiova.

17. Wetin di Baybul bin dɔn tɔk se go apin tumara bambay to di kiŋ dɛn na di wɔl ɛn di wan dɛn we de kɔntinyu fɔ waka tret wit Jiova?

¹⁷ Di atak we Gɔg go atak Gɔd in pipul dɛn go mek Amagɛdɔn stat, ɛn da tɛm de, Jiova go dɔnawe wit “di kiŋ dɛn na di wan ol wɔl.” (Rɛv. 16:​14, 16; 19:​19-21) Bɔt na jɔs “udat de waka tret go de na di land, wit di wan dɛn we de du di rayt tin.”—Prɔv. 2:​21.
