¹⁸ Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.

⁶ For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

¹⁷ And the kindness of Jehovah `Is' from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

²⁴ With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost receive me.

⁷ I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

¹ And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times,

² for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient, unthankful, unkind,

³ without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

⁴ traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

⁵ having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and from these be turning away,

² preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

³ for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,

⁴ and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

⁴ to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you,

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

²⁵ and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during.

³ and I will give to My two witnesses, and they shall prophesy days, a thousand, two hundred, sixty, arrayed with sackcloth;

⁴ these are the two olive `trees', and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;

⁵ and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed.

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

²³ for the wages of the sin `is' death, and the gift of God `is' life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹¹ Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys `is' with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!

⁴ Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.

¹⁵ In Thy hand `are' my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.

¹³ The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.

⁵ Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.

²¹ And thy people `are' all of them righteous, To the age they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My hands, to be beautified.

³² for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;

²¹ for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be.

²² And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

²³ `Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here `is' the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

²⁵ Iron and brass `are' thy shoes, And as thy days -- thy strength.
