And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

Behold, My servants will drink, but you will be thirsty.
Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

Fear before

I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should

Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

Worship the Lord in holy attire;

Tremble before Him, all the earth.
