or where is the king, that will march to give battle to another king, without setting himself first to deliberate, whether he is strong enough with ten thousand to withstand an army of twenty thousand?

for if the trumpet give an undistinguish'd sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

but they will be call'd to account by him, who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.

adore the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready to show with modesty and respect to every one that asks it, what ground there is for the expectations you have:

his tail swept the third part of the stars of heaven; and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.

be watchful, and fortify the rest that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
