14 ¶ Wi, kè Seyè a pral fè l' mal pou fanmi Jakòb la. L'ap chwazi pèp Izrayèl la ankò pou pèp pa li. L'ap kite yo rete nan peyi ki pou yo a. Moun lòt nasyon va vin jwenn yo, y'a rete viv ansanm ak moun fanmi Jakòb yo.

Anpil lòt nasyon va ede yo tounen nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm va pran yo ak yo nan peyi Bondye te ba yo a. Y'a fè yo sèvi domestik ak sèvant. Moun ki te fè pèp la prizonye, se yo ki pral tounen prizonye pèp la. Pèp Izrayèl la pral donminen sou moun ki t'ap peze yo anba pye yo.

Seyè a va fè nou jwenn repo apre tout tray, tout tribilasyon ak tout mizè yo te fè nou pase.

¶ Lè sa a, n'a chante pou nou pase wa lavil Babilòn lan nan betiz, n'a di: Gade ki jan moun ki t'ap maltrete nou an disparèt! Gade ki jan yo desann kòlèt li non!

Seyè a kase baton mechan yo. Li kase kokomakak chèf ki t'ap maltrete nou an!

Lè yo move, yo te konn woule pèp la anba kou. Lè yo ankòlè, yo te konn kraze pèp la anba pye yo, yo pa t' ba yo souf.

Koulye a, tout moun sou latè ap pran souf. Y'ap viv ak kè poze. Toupatou se chante, se kè kontan.

Pye pichpen ak pye sèd peyi Liban yo kontan sa ki rive wa a. Y'ap di: Depi li tonbe a, pesonn pa moute vin mete rach nan dèyè nou ankò.

Peyi kote mò yo ye a tèt anba pou resevwa ou. Nanm tout moun ki te gwo chèf sou latè ap souke kò yo pou ou. Nanm tout wa yo ap leve kanpe sot sou fotèy yo.

10 Yo tout pran pale, y'ap di: Gade! Yo desann ou jan ou te desann nou an. Ou tounen tankou nou.

11 Jan yo te konn fè lwanj ou ak bèl mizik dous sou gita! Koulye a, men ou nan peyi mò yo. Ou kouche sou yon kabann plen vèmen. Vè kouvri tout kò ou.

12 Manyè di nou non, ou menm ki te klere tankou zetwal bajou a, ki jan ou fè tonbe sot nan syèl la? Ou menm ki te konn mache ap kraze nasyon yo anba pye ou, ki jan yo fè jete ou plat atè konsa?

13 Ou t'ap di nan kè ou: M'ap moute rive jouk nan syèl la. Mwen pral mete fotèy mwen pi wo pase zetwal Bondye yo. Mwen pral chita tankou yon wa nan nò sou tèt mòn Randevou a.

14 Mwen pral moute sou tèt nwaj yo. M'ap tankou Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.

15 Men koulye a, yo desann ou nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, jouk anba nan twou san fon an!

16 Mò ki wè ou yo ap fikse je yo sou ou. Y'ap gade ou, y'ap di: Se pa moun ki te konn fè tè a tranble a sa? Se pa li ki te konn fè chèf yo tranble a sa?

17 Se pa li ki te kraze tout lavil yo, ki te fè latè tounen yon dezè a sa? Se pa li ki pa t' janm kite moun li fè prizonye tounen lakay yo a sa?

18 Tout wa latè yo kouche nan bèl kavo yo, yon kavo pou yo chak.

19 Men, ou menm, ou pa menm gen yon tonm. Yo kite kadav ou ap trennen tankou kadav chen nan granchemen. L'ap pouri nan mitan kadav sòlda yo touye nan lagè, yo jete l' ansanm ak lòt kadav yo nan yon twou wòch, yo pilonnen l' anba pye yo.

20 Yo p'ap antere ou jan yo fè l' pou lòt wa yo, paske ou te fini ak peyi ou la, ou te touye pèp ou a. Yo p'ap janm chonje non fanmi lwijanboje sa yo!

21 Pare pou nou masakre tout pitit wa yo poutèt mechanste papa yo te fè! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape pou yo pa janm vin chèf, pou yo pa janm mache bati lavil toupatou sou latè ankò.

22 Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pale, li di konsa: -Mwen pral leve dèyè yo. Mwen pral disparèt lavil Babilòn. Mwen p'ap kite anyen, ni non l', ni moun li yo, tout ras yo, tout pitit yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

23 M'ap fè lavil Babilòn tounen yon marekay. Se zagoudi ase k'ap rete la. Mwen pral bale sa byen bale. M' p'ap kite anyen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki pale.

24 ¶ Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fè sèman, li di konsa: -Sa se sèten. Sa m' te fè lide fè a, m'ap fè l'. Sa m' te deside fè a ap rive vre.

25 M'ap kraze lame wa Lasiri a nan peyi mwen an. M'ap pilonnen l' anba pye m' sou mòn mwen yo. M'ap wete pye l' sou kou pèp mwen an, m'ap wete chay li te mete sou zepòl yo a.

26 Men sa mwen fè lide fè pou latè. Mwen pral leve men m' pou m' pini tout nasyon yo.

27 Depi Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fin pran yon desizyon, pa gen moun ki ka enpoze l' fè sa li vle fè a. Li fin lonje men l' pou l' pini, pa gen moun ki ka rete l'.

28 Lanne wa Akaz te mouri a, men mesaj Bondye te bay lè sa a:

29 -Nou menm, moun peyi Filisti yo, baton ki t'ap bat nou an kase. Men, nou pa bezwen kontan pou sa. Paske, lè yon sèpan mouri gen yon lòt ki pi mechan pase l' k'ap pran plas li. L'ap kale yon dragon ki gen zèl.

30 Seyè a va tounen yon gadò pou pòv malere ki nan peyi a. L'a fè yo manje, l'a ba yo kote pou yo rete san yo pa bezwen pè ankenn danje. Men, m'ap voye yon sèl grangou sou ras moun Filisti yo, yo yonn p'ap chape.

31 Nou menm k'ap veye pòtay lavil moun Filisti yo, nou mèt plenn kont kò nou! Nou menm ki rete anndan lavil yo, nou mèt pouse kont rèl nou. Nou tout moun peyi Filisti yo, nou mèt tranble nan tout kò nou. Yon nwaj nwa ap vini soti nan nò. Se yon gwo lame. Pa gen yonn nan sòlda li yo k'ap fè kazwèl!

32 Kisa n'a reponn mesaje moun peyi Filisti yo va voye kote nou an? N'a di yo se Seyè a menm ki mete peyi Siyon an kanpe ankò pou tout bon. Se la tout pèp li a, pèp ki t'ap soufri a, va vin jwenn pwoteksyon.

15 ¶ Men sa Bondye di k'ap rive peyi Moab: -Y'ap detwi lavil A Moab nan yon grenn nwit. Tout peyi Moab la frèt! Y'ap pran yon sèl nwit pou yo detwi lavil Ki Moab la! Apre sa, tout peyi a frèt!

Moun peyi Moab yo ap kouri moute lavil Dibon, sou tèt mòn yo pou y' al kriye. Moun peyi Moab yo pral plenn tèlman y'ap nan lapenn pou lavil Nebo ak lavil Medeba. Yo taye tout cheve nan tèt yo, yo koupe tout bab nan figi yo.

Nan tout lari, moun ap mache ak rad sak sou yo. Sou tout plas piblik, sou teras anwo tout kay, moun ap plenn. Dlo ap koule nan je yo tout.

Moun lavil Esbon ak moun lavil Eleale ap pouse rèl. Moun tande yo jouk lavil Jakaz. Ata sòlda lame Moab yo ap tranble. Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo.

Kè m' ap fann pou peyi Moab! Moun li yo ap kouri al kache jouk lavil Zoa ak lavil Eglat-Chelichiya. Moun ap kriye antan y'ap rale moute ti pant pou rive lavil Loukit la. Moun ap rele antan y'ap kouri met deyò sou wout ki mennen lavil Owonayim lan.

¶ Larivyè Nimrim chèch. Tout zèb fin cheche. Fèy pyebwa yo fennen. Tout pyebwa mouri.

Tout moun ap janbe lòt bò ravin Banbou avèk tou sa yo genyen ak tout pwovizyon yo.

Toupatou, sou fwontyè peyi Moab la, se rèl. Rèl yo rive jouk nan zòrèy moun lavil Eglayim ak moun lavil Berelim.

Lavil Dimon, dlo larivyè a wouj ak san! Men Bondye pare yon pi gwo malè pou lavil Dimon. Se la yon lyon pral touye dènye moun peyi Moab ki te resi chape kò yo. Se la tout rès moun peyi Moab yo pral mouri.

16 ¶ Moun peyi Moab yo ap rete lavil Sila nan dezè a, y'ap voye yon mouton fè chèf lavil Jerizalèm lan kado sou tèt mòn Siyon an.

Y'ap rete tann bò larivyè Anon an. Yo san pozisyon, yo tankou ti zwazo yo mete deyò nan nich yo.

Y'ap di moun peyi Jida yo: -Ban nou ti konsèy non! Di nou sa pou nou fè! Pwoteje nou anba zèl ou, tankou yon pyebwa k'ap bay bon lonbray fre gwo midi. Se chape n'ap chache chape kò nou. Tanpri, kache nou. Pa lage nou nan men lènmi nou yo.

Kite nou rete nan peyi nou an. Pwoteje nou anba moun ki soti pou fini ak nou yo. Moun ki t'ap kraze nou an p'ap la ankò. Piyay la ap fini. Moun ki t'ap pilonnen peyi a anba pye yo a ap disparèt.

Gouvènman peyi Jida a pral kanpe byen kanpe. Yon chèf pral soti nan ras fanmi wa David la. Li pral moute chita sou fotèy la pou l' dirije pèp la avèk bon kè, san patipri. L'ap soti pou l' fè sa ki dwat devan Bondye. L'ap prese fè tout moun jistis.

¶ Moun peyi Jida yo di: -Nou tande jan moun Moab yo se moun ki gen lògèy. Wa pa kouzen yo. Nou konnen jan yo estomake, jan yo gen gwo tanta, jan yo awogan. Men, tou sa se van. Anyen menm!

Men moun Moab yo pral plenyen sò peyi Moab la. Yo tout pral kriye lè y'a chonje bon pen rezen yo konn jwenn lavil Kyerès. Yo pral plenn, y'ap pèdi tout kouraj yo.

Gwo jaden peyi Esbon yo pral deperi. Pye rezen lavil Sibma yo ki te konn bay bon diven chèf nasyon yo te konn bwè a pral cheche. Te gen yon lè jaden rezen sa yo te rive jouk bò lavil Jazè. Yo te pouse kouvri tout dezè a. Yo te gaye kò yo toupatou rive lòt bò lanmè Mouri a.

Se poutèt sa, m'ap kriye pou pye rezen Sibma yo, jan mwen te kriye pou jaden rezen Jazè yo. Dlo ap kouri nan je m' pou Esbon ak Eleale, paske moun ap rele pou bèl rezen yo te konn rekòlte la a.

10 Nanpwen kè kontan ak fèt nan jaden nou yo! Nan jaden rezen nou yo, nanpwen chante, nanpwen koudjay ankò! Pa gen rezen pou kraze nan basen kote yo fè ji. Tout fèt kaba!

11 Se poutèt sa, m'a plenn, kè m' fè m' mal pou peyi Moab, mwen nan gwo lapenn pou lavil Kyerès.

12 Moun peyi Moab yo ap touye tèt yo moute nan mòn. Yo pral nan tanp pou yo lapriyè. Men, sa p'ap sèvi yo anyen.

13 Anvan sa, men sa Seyè a te di k'ap rive lavil Moab la.

14 Koulye a, Seyè a pale ankò. Li di konsa: Nan twazan, jou pou jou, tankou moun k'ap travay pou lajan kalkile lè travay yo, yo pral pase sa ki fè pouvwa peyi Moab la nan tenten. Atout li gen anpil moun koulye a, se de twa ase ki pral rete, yon ti ponyen tou fèb ki p'ap vo anyen!

14 The Lord will have compassion(A) on Jacob;
    once again he will choose(B) Israel
    and will settle them in their own land.(C)
Foreigners(D) will join them
    and unite with the descendants of Jacob.
Nations will take them
    and bring(E) them to their own place.
And Israel will take possession of the nations(F)
    and make them male and female servants in the Lord’s land.
They will make captives(G) of their captors
    and rule over their oppressors.(H)

On the day the Lord gives you relief(I) from your suffering and turmoil(J) and from the harsh labor forced on you,(K) you will take up this taunt(L) against the king of Babylon:(M)

How the oppressor(N) has come to an end!
    How his fury[a] has ended!
The Lord has broken the rod(O) of the wicked,(P)
    the scepter(Q) of the rulers,
which in anger struck down peoples(R)
    with unceasing blows,
and in fury subdued(S) nations
    with relentless aggression.(T)
All the lands are at rest and at peace;(U)
    they break into singing.(V)
Even the junipers(W) and the cedars of Lebanon
    gloat over you and say,
“Now that you have been laid low,
    no one comes to cut us down.”(X)

The realm of the dead(Y) below is all astir
    to meet you at your coming;
it rouses the spirits of the departed(Z) to greet you—
    all those who were leaders(AA) in the world;
it makes them rise from their thrones—
    all those who were kings over the nations.(AB)
10 They will all respond,
    they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
    you have become like us.”(AC)
11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave,(AD)
    along with the noise of your harps;(AE)
maggots are spread out beneath you
    and worms(AF) cover you.(AG)

12 How you have fallen(AH) from heaven,
    morning star,(AI) son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
    you who once laid low the nations!(AJ)
13 You said in your heart,
    “I will ascend(AK) to the heavens;
I will raise my throne(AL)
    above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,(AM)
    on the utmost heights(AN) of Mount Zaphon.[b]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(AO)
    I will make myself like the Most High.”(AP)
15 But you are brought down(AQ) to the realm of the dead,(AR)
    to the depths(AS) of the pit.(AT)

16 Those who see you stare at you,
    they ponder your fate:(AU)
“Is this the man who shook(AV) the earth
    and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a wilderness,(AW)
    who overthrew(AX) its cities
    and would not let his captives go home?”(AY)

18 All the kings of the nations lie in state,
    each in his own tomb.(AZ)
19 But you are cast out(BA) of your tomb
    like a rejected branch;
you are covered with the slain,(BB)
    with those pierced by the sword,(BC)
    those who descend to the stones of the pit.(BD)
Like a corpse trampled underfoot,
20     you will not join them in burial,(BE)
for you have destroyed your land
    and killed your people.

Let the offspring(BF) of the wicked(BG)
    never be mentioned(BH) again.
21 Prepare a place to slaughter his children(BI)
    for the sins of their ancestors;(BJ)
they are not to rise to inherit the land
    and cover the earth with their cities.

22 “I will rise up(BK) against them,”
    declares the Lord Almighty.
“I will wipe out Babylon’s name(BL) and survivors,
    her offspring and descendants,(BM)
declares the Lord.
23 “I will turn her into a place for owls(BN)
    and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,(BO)
    declares the Lord Almighty.(BP)

24 The Lord Almighty has sworn,(BQ)

“Surely, as I have planned,(BR) so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen.(BS)
25 I will crush the Assyrian(BT) in my land;
    on my mountains I will trample him down.
His yoke(BU) will be taken from my people,
    and his burden removed from their shoulders.(BV)

26 This is the plan(BW) determined for the whole world;
    this is the hand(BX) stretched out over all nations.
27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed,(BY) and who can thwart him?
    His hand(BZ) is stretched out, and who can turn it back?(CA)

A Prophecy Against the Philistines

28 This prophecy(CB) came in the year(CC) King Ahaz(CD) died:

29 Do not rejoice, all you Philistines,(CE)
    that the rod that struck you is broken;
from the root of that snake will spring up a viper,(CF)
    its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent.(CG)
30 The poorest of the poor will find pasture,
    and the needy(CH) will lie down in safety.(CI)
But your root I will destroy by famine;(CJ)
    it will slay(CK) your survivors.(CL)

31 Wail,(CM) you gate!(CN) Howl, you city!
    Melt away, all you Philistines!(CO)
A cloud of smoke comes from the north,(CP)
    and there is not a straggler in its ranks.(CQ)
32 What answer shall be given
    to the envoys(CR) of that nation?
“The Lord has established Zion,(CS)
    and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.(CT)

A Prophecy Against Moab(CU)

15 A prophecy(CV) against Moab:(CW)

Ar(CX) in Moab is ruined,(CY)
    destroyed in a night!
Kir(CZ) in Moab is ruined,
    destroyed in a night!
Dibon(DA) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places(DB) to weep;
    Moab wails(DC) over Nebo(DD) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved(DE)
    and every beard cut off.(DF)
In the streets they wear sackcloth;(DG)
    on the roofs(DH) and in the public squares(DI)
they all wail,(DJ)
    prostrate with weeping.(DK)
Heshbon(DL) and Elealeh(DM) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(DN)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

My heart cries out(DO) over Moab;(DP)
    her fugitives(DQ) flee as far as Zoar,(DR)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim(DS)
    they lament their destruction.(DT)
The waters of Nimrim are dried up(DU)
    and the grass is withered;(DV)
the vegetation is gone(DW)
    and nothing green is left.(DX)
So the wealth they have acquired(DY) and stored up
    they carry away over the Ravine of the Poplars.
Their outcry echoes along the border of Moab;
    their wailing reaches as far as Eglaim,
    their lamentation as far as Beer(DZ) Elim.
The waters of Dimon[c] are full of blood,
    but I will bring still more upon Dimon[d]
a lion(EA) upon the fugitives of Moab(EB)
    and upon those who remain in the land.

16 Send lambs(EC) as tribute(ED)
    to the ruler of the land,
from Sela,(EE) across the desert,
    to the mount of Daughter Zion.(EF)
Like fluttering birds
    pushed from the nest,(EG)
so are the women of Moab(EH)
    at the fords(EI) of the Arnon.(EJ)

“Make up your mind,” Moab says.
    “Render a decision.
Make your shadow like night—
    at high noon.
Hide the fugitives,(EK)
    do not betray the refugees.
Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you;
    be their shelter(EL) from the destroyer.”

The oppressor(EM) will come to an end,
    and destruction will cease;(EN)
    the aggressor will vanish from the land.
In love a throne(EO) will be established;(EP)
    in faithfulness a man will sit on it—
    one from the house[e] of David(EQ)
one who in judging seeks justice(ER)
    and speeds the cause of righteousness.

We have heard of Moab’s(ES) pride(ET)
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her conceit, her pride and her insolence;
    but her boasts are empty.
Therefore the Moabites wail,(EU)
    they wail together for Moab.
Lament and grieve
    for the raisin cakes(EV) of Kir Hareseth.(EW)
The fields of Heshbon(EX) wither,(EY)
    the vines of Sibmah(EZ) also.
The rulers of the nations
    have trampled down the choicest vines,(FA)
which once reached Jazer(FB)
    and spread toward the desert.
Their shoots spread out(FC)
    and went as far as the sea.[f](FD)
So I weep,(FE) as Jazer weeps,
    for the vines of Sibmah.
Heshbon and Elealeh,(FF)
    I drench you with tears!(FG)
The shouts of joy(FH) over your ripened fruit
    and over your harvests(FI) have been stilled.
10 Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards;(FJ)
    no one sings or shouts(FK) in the vineyards;
no one treads(FL) out wine at the presses,(FM)
    for I have put an end to the shouting.
11 My heart laments for Moab(FN) like a harp,(FO)
    my inmost being(FP) for Kir Hareseth.
12 When Moab appears at her high place,(FQ)
    she only wears herself out;
when she goes to her shrine(FR) to pray,
    it is to no avail.(FS)

13 This is the word the Lord has already spoken concerning Moab. 14 But now the Lord says: “Within three years,(FT) as a servant bound by contract(FU) would count them,(FV) Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised,(FW) and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”(FX)

¶ Se sa ki fè, paske nou se pitit Bondye renmen anpil, se pou nou chache fè tankou Bondye fè.

Se pou nou viv ak renmen nan kè nou, menm jan Kris la te fè l' la, li menm ki te renmen nou, ki te bay lavi l' pou nou tankou yon ti mouton yo ofri pou touye pou Bondye, ofrann k'ap fè Bondye plezi ak bon sant li.

¶ Paske nou se pèp Bondye a, sa pa bon pou nou menm louvri bouch nou pale sou dezòd lachè, sou bagay ki sal ak vye dezi.

Sa pa bon non plis pou nou kite gwo mo, pawòl san sans ak mo sal soti nan bouch nou. Bagay konsa pa dakò ak sa nou ye. Okontrè, se pou nou lapriyè pou di Bondye mèsi.

Paske, konnen sa byen: okenn moun ki nan dezòd lachè, osinon ki nan lenkondite, osinon ki renmen lajan (moun konsa se tankou moun k'ap sèvi zidòl), okenn nan moun sa yo p'ap gen pòsyon eritaj nan peyi kote Bondye ak Kris la wa a.

Pa kite pesonn twonpe nou ak pawòl san sans yo: se poutèt bagay sa yo menm kòlè Bondye tonbe sou moun ki refize obeyi l' yo.

Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak moun konsa.

Nan tan lontan, nou te nan fènwa. Men koulye a, paske n'ap viv ansanm nan Seyè a, nou nan limyè. Se sa ki fè, fòk nou mennen tèt nou tankou moun k'ap viv nan limyè a.

Paske, limyè a fè moun fè bagay ki bon, bagay ki dwat ak bagay ki vre.

10 Chache konnen sa k'ap fè Seyè a plezi.

11 Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak moun k'ap viv nan fènwa, moun k'ap fè bagay ki p'ap rapòte anyen. Okontrè, denonse yo pou sa yo ye.

12 Bagay moun sa yo ap fè an kachèt, se yon wont menm pou pale sou sa.

13 Men, lè ou mete tout bagay sa yo aklè nan limyè, lèzòm va wè sa yo ye tout bon.

14 Paske, tout bagay ki parèt aklè tounen limyè. Se poutèt sa yo di: Leve non, ou menm k'ap dòmi an, leve soti nan mitan mò yo. Kris la va klere ou.

15 Se sa ki fè, konnen ki jan pou n' mennen tèt nou! Pa mennen tèt nou tankou moun ki sòt, men tankou moun ki gen konprann.

16 Pa kite okenn okazyon pase pou fè sa ki byen. Paske, jou sa yo n'ap viv la a pa bon menm.

Follow God’s example,(A) therefore, as dearly loved children(B) and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us(C) and gave himself up for us(D) as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.(E)

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(F) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(G) because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(H) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(I) For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(J)—has any inheritance(K) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](L) Let no one deceive you(M) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(N) comes on those who are disobedient.(O) Therefore do not be partners with them.

For you were once(P) darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light(Q) (for the fruit(R) of the light consists in all goodness,(S) righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord.(T) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(U) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(V) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,(W)
    rise from the dead,(X)
    and Christ will shine on you.”(Y)

15 Be very careful, then, how you live(Z)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,(AA) because the days are evil.(AB)
