Peace

My mind reels, horror overwhelms me;
The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

“Come,” they say, “let us get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”

Like tangled thorns,
And like those who are drunken with their drink,
They are consumed
As stubble completely withered.

For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

My desire shall be gratified against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will destroy them.’

Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that

disaster was close to them.

They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men’s hands.

Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to

destruction.

A man who hardens his neck after much reproof
Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.

Therefore this iniquity will be to you
Like a breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

The people kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”

‘Behold, you scoffers, and marvel, and

perish;

For I am accomplishing a work in your days,
A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”

These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

As

Panic seized them there,

Anguish, as of a woman in childbirth.

“I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring My sons from afar
And My daughters from the ends of the earth,

For this reason my loins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

For I heard a cry as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
The cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,

Stretching out her hands, saying,

“Ah, woe is me, for I faint before murderers.”

We have heard the report of it;
Our hands are limp.

Anguish has seized us,

Pain as of a woman in childbirth.

Former

companions to be head over you?

Will not pangs take hold of you
Like a woman in childbirth?

“You who dwell in Lebanon,
Nested in the cedars,
How you will groan when pangs come upon you,

Pain like a woman in childbirth!

The pains of childbirth come upon him;
He is not a wise son,
For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.

“Now, why do you cry out loudly?
Is there no king among you,
Or has your counselor perished,
That agony has gripped you like a woman in childbirth?

And they

You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of

hell?

how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

For a time of healing, but behold, terror!
