So shall thy povertyª comeª° [as] one that travelleth;ª° and thy wantª as an armedª man.ª" {Prv 24:33-34} + "Forª whenª they shall say,ª° Peaceª andª safety;ª thenª suddenª destructionª cometh uponª° them,ª asª travailª upon² a woman with child;ªª°¹ andª they shall²° notª escape.ª° ... Forª they that sleepª° sleepª° in the night;ª andª they that be drunkenª° are drunkenª° in the night.ª" {1Th 5:3-7}
