““Let me also laugh at your calamity, Mock when your dread comes, “When your dread comes like a storm, And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. “Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me. “Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of יהוה, “They did not accept my counsel, They despised all my reproof, “Therefore let them eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own counsels. “For the turning away of the simple kills them, And the complacency of fools destroys them.”
‭‭Mishlĕ (Proverbs)‬ ‭1:26-32‬ ‭TS2009‬‬

“But when you hear of fightings and unrests, do not be alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately. Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven. “But before all this, they shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the congregations and prisons, being brought before sovereigns and rulers for My Name’s sake. “And it shall turn out to you for a witness. “Therefore, resolve in your hearts not to premeditate on what to answer. “For I shall give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to refute or resist. “And you shall also be betrayed by parents and brothers and relatives and friends. And some of you shall be put to death. “And you shall be hated by all because of My Name. “But not a hair of your head shall be lost at all. “Possess your lives by your endurance!”
‭‭Luqas (Luke)‬ ‭21:9-19‬ ‭TS2009‬‬
