And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah's passover.

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;

and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.
