12 Yes, these are the wicked, who always have it easy.+

They keep increasing their wealth.+

18 Surely you place them on slippery ground.+

You make them fall to their ruin.+

3 Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them,+ just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.

3 Therefore, continue mindful of* how you have received and how you heard, and go on keeping it, and repent.+ Certainly unless you wake up, I will come as a thief,+ and you will not know at all at what hour I will come upon you.+
