A voice shouting in the wilderness
'Clear the way for the Lord's coming!' *

While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. **

Seek the LORD while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near. ***

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. ****
