Answer:

"Thus says the Lord".

Explanation:

The books of the Holy Bible, especially those of the Old Testament, are believed by their respective writers to be from God directly. This was shown in their writings with the use of the phrase "<em>Thus says the Lord</em>".

  • <em>Thus says the Lord God: It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.</em>

3. Exodus 4:22

  • <em>And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is My son, even My firstborn.</em>

4. Isaiah 56:4

  • <em>For thus says the Lord: To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths and choose the things which please Me and hold firmly My covenant --</em>

Explain why some countries chose to be nonaligned. What did they fear, and what did they have to gain by remaining neutral?
eduard
With war, every country is afraid. They're afraid of possibly being ambushed, becoming in dept, and many other reasons. So by remaining neutral they can sit back and not have to worry about being attacked by any country that's fighting. But that's not always the case now and days. Hope I answered your question correctly.
