Yehudim In Moshiach 10:35-39 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

35. Do not discard, then, your bitachon (confident trust) which has gadol sachar (great reward).

36. You are nitzrach (needy) of the kind of zitzfleisch (patience) that has endurance, in order that, having accomplished the ratzon Hashem, you will receive the havtachah (promise).

37. For yet a little while and Hu HaBah [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach] YAVO LO YE'ACHER ("He will come, he will not delay")

38. V'TZADDIK VE'EMUNATO YICHEYEH ("And my tzaddik will live by Emunah" --CHABAKUK 2:3-4) And, if he shrinks back as a shmad defector, LO YASHRAH NAFSHO BO ("his desire is not upright in him").

39. But we are not of those who shrink back as shmad defectors toward churban destruction, but we are of those with Emunah whose neshamah is preserved in Yeshu'at Eloheinu.
