10 But (A)the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then (B)the heavens will pass away with a roar, and (C)the heavenly bodies[a] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[b]

and (D)the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 (E)They will perish, but (F)you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27 but (G)you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 (H)The children of your servants (I)shall dwell secure;
(J)their offspring shall be established before you.

9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.

they are soon gone, and we fly away.
