Let not your heart grow faint, and be not afraid at the report that will be heard in the land, when the report comes in one year, and after that a report in another year, and violence is in the land, ruler against ruler.
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginning of sorrows.
