10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be destroyed with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed.[a](A)
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of persons ought you to be in leading lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening[b] the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set ablaze and destroyed and the elements will melt with fire? 13 But, in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.(B)

24 “O my God,” I say, “do not take me away
at the midpoint of my life,
you whose years endure
throughout all generations.”(A)
25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.(B)
26 They will perish, but you endure;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You change them like clothing, and they pass away,(C)
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.(D)
28 The children of your servants shall live secure;
their offspring shall be established in your presence.(E)

“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
your years go on(A) through all generations.
25 In the beginning(B) you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens(C) are the work of your hands.(D)
26 They will perish,(E) but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,(F)
and your years will never end.(G)
28 The children of your servants(H) will live in your presence;
their descendants(I) will be established before you.”
