³ Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?

³⁰ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

⁷ Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, having, in the same way as these, given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

¹ But there also arose false prophets among the people, as among you also there will be false teachers, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

⁹ who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

³ For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.

²² What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,

¹³ "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.

²¹ For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim, he will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

¹⁵ It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

²⁹ The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright, But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

²⁷ When calamity overtakes you like a storm, When your disaster comes on like a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come on you.

¹⁸ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

²³ But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, But I will trust in you.

²² There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
