In the grave wicked people stop their evil, and tired workers find rest at last.

Everyone is there, the famous and the unknown, and slaves at last are free.

Good people die, and no one understands or even cares. But when they die, no calamity can hurt them.

Those who live good lives find peace and rest in death.

A day is coming when people will sing, "I praise you, LORD! You were angry with me, but now you comfort me and are angry no longer.

Go into your houses, my people, and shut the door behind you. Hide yourselves for a little while until God's anger is over.

The LORD is coming from his heavenly dwelling place to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The murders that were secretly committed on the earth will be revealed, and the ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

"No one knows, however, when that day or hour will come---neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son; only the Father knows.

Jesus said to them, "The times and occasions are set by my Father's own authority, and it is not for you to know when they will be.

For he has fixed a day in which he will judge the whole world with justice by means of a man he has chosen. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that man from death!"

God had not forgotten Noah and all the animals with him in the boat; he caused a wind to blow, and the water started going down.

Remember me, LORD, when you help your people; include me when you save them.

And he said to Jesus, "Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King!"
