O that You would hide me in Sheol, that You would conceal me until Your wrath is turned back, that You would appoint me a decree, and remember me!

Fear and trembling have come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.

Lo, I would wander far off; I would abide in the wilderness. Selah.

And do not fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who has power to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

since it is righteous judgment with God to repay with affliction those who trouble you,

and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels,

(for that righteous man, dwelling among them, his righteous soul was tormented from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds);

The righteous perishes, and no one lays it to heart, and merciful men are taken away; no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the face of evil.

He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, that no one fall according to the same example of disobedience.

And I heard a voice from Heaven saying to me, 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.
