"The Lord is for me, I shall not fear; What can man do to me? Abraham said, "What will you do to me, Abimelech?" Jacob said, "What will Esau do to me?" David said, "What will you do to me, Goliath?"
The Lord is with me, I will not fear what man can do to me. It is like two people who come to be judged before a judge and are afraid of the judgment. They were told, "Do not be afraid of the judgment, but strengthen your hearts." So too, Israel will stand in judgment before the Lord and they will be afraid, but the ministering angels will say to them, "Do not be afraid, for he is your kinsman," as it is said, "He will build your cities and send your exiles away." And they will reply and say, "Do not be afraid of the judgment, for he is your brother," as it is said, "For the sake of my brothers and my friends." And even more so, he is your father, as it is said, "Is not he your father who bought you?" And similarly it says, "And what great nation is there that has God so close to them?" This will merit us in judgment, as it is said, "Israel, my chosen ones." Five righteous individuals stood in the world: Noah, Shem, Eber, Abraham, and Assyria. Noah did not care to associate with the wicked, but instead planted a vineyard. Shem and Ever hid themselves. Ashur said, "How can I live among these wicked people?" and he went away, as it says, "From that land, he went out to Assyria" (Genesis 10:11). Abraham's righteousness stands forever, and he does not leave the Holy One, blessed be He. Even the Holy One, blessed be He, did not abandon him, as it says, "I am the Lord who brought you out" (Genesis 15:7).
