To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance.

70 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

² Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

³ Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

⁴ Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

⁵ But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

⁶ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet ye have not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

⁷ And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece [of land] was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

⁸ And two, three, cities wandered unto one city, to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

⁹ I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the palmer-worm hath devoured the multitude of your gardens, and your vineyards, and your fig-trees and your olive-trees: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

¹⁰ I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, taking away captive your horses; and I made the stench of your camps to come up, even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

¹¹ I have overthrown among you, like God's overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.

¹² Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

¹³ For behold, he who formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth,—Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name.

24 And Jesus went forth and went away from the temple, and his disciples came to [him] to point out to him the buildings of the temple.

² And he answering said to them, Do ye not see all these things? Verily I say to you, Not a stone shall be left here upon a stone which shall not be thrown down.

³ And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and [the] completion of the age?

⁴ And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.

⁵ For many shall come in my name, saying, *I* am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.

⁶ But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all [these things] must take place, but it is not yet the end.

⁷ For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.

⁸ But all these [are the] beginning of throes.

⁹ Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.

¹⁰ And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;

¹¹ and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;

¹² and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;

¹³ but he that has endured to the end, *he* shall be saved.

¹⁴ And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end.
