General Information:

In 10:37 is a quotation from the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament.

do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward

A person no longer having confidence is spoken of as if the person were to throw confidence away, like a person would discard something worthless.

AT: "do not stop being confident, because you will receive a great reward for being confident" or "do not stop confidently trusting in God, who will reward you greatly" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)

For in a very little while

You can make this explicit. AT: "As God said in the scriptures, 'For in a very little while" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

in a very little while

"very soon"
