But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.”
And among these nations you shall find no respite, and there shall be no resting place for the sole of your foot, but the Lord will give you there a trembling heart and failing eyes and a languishing soul.
“If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property— the eyes of his children will fail.
how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard,
and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’
I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: “Strike the capitals until the thresholds shake, and shatter them on the heads of all the people; and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword; not one of them shall flee away; not one of them shall escape. “If they dig into Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; if they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down. If they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search them out and take them; and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea, there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall, and a serpent bit him. Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?
Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
Our eyes failed, ever watching vainly for help; in our watching we watched for a nation which could not save.
If one curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.
What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted.
I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God.
There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves.
It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight.
For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off, when God takes away his life?
He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors.
Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish. His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider's web.
then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
