Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you.
Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken.
But I will encamp at my temple to guard it against marauding forces. Never again will an oppressor overrun my people, for now I am keeping watch.
“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me.
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.”
