26
men’s hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27

28

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

35
For as a snare it shall come on all those that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
