30 “‘That is why the utterance of Jehovah the God of Israel is: “I did indeed say, As for your house and the house of your forefather, they will walk before me to time indefinite.”+ But now the utterance of Jehovah is: “It is unthinkable, on my part, because those honoring me+ I shall honor,+ and those despising me will be of little account.”+

18 He that is safeguarding the fig tree will himself eat its fruit,+ and he that is guarding his master* will be honored.+
