Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord has passed away.

For behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [His] holy place on those that dwell upon the earth; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.

I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.

For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are for a season, but the things which are not seen last forever.

and to give you who are being afflicted rest along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His mighty angels,

in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.

And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now [on],' "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow with them."

The heathen are caught in the destruction which they planned: in the very snare which they hid is their foot taken.

But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in You, O Lord.

Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me. Remember that I stood before Your face, to speak good concerning them, to turn away Your wrath from them.

Let there be a cry in their houses: You shall bring upon them robbers suddenly- for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me.

then the Lord knows [how] to deliver the godly out of temptation and [how] to keep the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

knowing this first: that mockers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

For this they willingly forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and [the] earth, consisting out of water and through water,

but the present heavens and earth, having been stored up by His word, are being reserved for fire until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

And they cried [with] a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"

Then a long white robe was given to them, and it was said to them that they should rest yet a while, until also their fellow servants and their brothers, who were about to be killed as also they [were], should complete [their course].

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and to those that fear Your name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
