For we all must die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither does God respect any person: yet he devises means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
And so that your heart does not faint, and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in various places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
