Corrected location of question mark from:
'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
To:
'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
The final clause is a statement, wrapped inside the longer RQ.
Uncapitalized new line in middle of quote:
\q 'Make ready the way of the Lord,
\q Make his paths straight.'"
To:
\q 'Make ready the way of the Lord,
\q make his paths straight.'"

2 Thessalonians 1:8 Comma not needed; it does not occur in the ESV or NIV either.
Original: "In flaming fire will he take vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus."
1 Tim. 1:1 Original reading: "Christ Jesus our confidence" – I followed this suggestion of Mark Thomas, one of the readers for the text team. "Can we go back to 'hope'? Confidence alone doesn’t equal hope. Confidence in the future may. Every translation I looked at used hope, including the Wycliffe Bible. I looked at at least a dozen. Hope and confidence are both key words in the translation notes of Door43."
Exodus 24:7 "The Book of the Covenant" is the title of this document that represents these chapters in Exodus. This was read repeatedly and so is a document with a title that deserves more than just a generic reference.
Joshua 23:6 "The Book of the Law of Moses" is a document title and should be capitalized because there is no better way (yet) to graphically represent titles.
2 Samuel 1:18 "The Song of the Bow" and "The Book of Jashar" are titles of works that require capitalization. This is because other forms of graphic representation (italics, bolding, font sizing, etc.) are assumed to be not available.
2 Kings 22:8 "The Book of the Law" is a document title and is capitalized. There is no other easy graphical way to show this since quote marks would be confusing with dialog.
2 Chronicles 17:9 "The Book of the Law of Yahweh" is a document title and should be capitalized because there is no better way (yet) to graphically represent titles.
2 Chronicles 34:14 "The Book of the Law of Yahweh" is a document title and should be capitalized because there is no better way (yet) to graphically represent titles.
2 Chronicles 34:15 "The Book of the Law" is a document title and should be capitalized because there is no better way (yet) to graphically represent titles.
2 Chronicles 34:30 "The Book of the Covenant" is a document title and should be capitalized because there is no better way (yet) to graphically represent titles.
