A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
