⁹ Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [for] he went up from Gilgal all the night.

² For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

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.
