¹¹ these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

⁶ Lift ye up to the heavens your eyes, And look attentively unto the earth beneath, For the heavens as smoke have vanished, And the earth as a garment weareth out, And its inhabitants as gnats do die, And My salvation is to the age, And My righteousness is not broken.

⁴ And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.

²⁷ and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;

⁷ and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men.

⁸ And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord `is' as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

⁹ the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation,

¹⁰ and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.

¹¹ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that `are' in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

⁸ `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live;

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

¹ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth did pass away, and the sea is not any more;

³³ the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away.

³¹ the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

¹⁰ Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king -- to the age,

² Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou `art' God.

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I `am' He.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I `am' the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

⁹ Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who `is' he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.

⁸ For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My salvation to all generations.

¹⁷ For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

¹⁶ Jehovah `is' king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
