'Soon' in the Bible

Kiss (pay respect to) the Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way,For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame.How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him!

As soon as they hear me, they respond and obey me;Foreigners feign obedience to me.

For they will wither quickly like the grass,And fade like the green herb.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;These go astray from birth, speaking lies [even twisted partial truths].

You have swept them away like a flood, they fall asleep [forgotten as soon as they are gone];In the morning they are like grass which grows anew—

For all our days pass away in Your wrath;We have finished our years like a whispered sigh.

The days of our life are seventy years—Or even, if because of strength, eighty years;Yet their pride [in additional years] is only labor and sorrow,For it is soon gone and we fly away.

If the Lord had not been my help,I would soon have dwelt in [the land of] silence.
