3 Il leur dira: Écoute, Israël! Vous allez aujourd’hui livrer bataille à vos ennemis. Que votre cœur ne se trouble point; soyez sans crainte, ne vous effrayez pas, ne vous épouvantez pas devant eux.

4 Car l’Éternel, votre Dieu, marche avec vous, pour combattre vos ennemis, pour vous sauver.

5 Les officiers parleront ensuite au peuple et diront: Qui est-ce qui a bâti une maison neuve, et ne s’y est point encore établi? Qu’il s’en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu’il ne meure dans la bataille et qu’un autre ne s’y établisse.

6 Qui est-ce qui a planté une vigne, et n’en a point encore joui? Qu’il s’en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu’il ne meure dans la bataille et qu’un autre n’en jouisse.

7 Qui est-ce qui a fiancé une femme, et ne l’a point encore prise? Qu’il s’en aille et retourne chez lui, de peur qu’il ne meure dans la bataille et qu’un autre ne la prenne.
