Luke 17:26-30
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage– right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

Luke 19:42-44
saying,“ If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.They will demolish you– you and your children within your walls– and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”

Isaiah 3:11-14
Too bad for the wicked sinners! For they will get exactly what they deserve.Oppressors treat my people cruelly; creditors rule over them. My people’s leaders mislead them; they give you confusing directions.The LORD takes his position to judge; he stands up to pass sentence on his people.The LORD comes to pronounce judgment on the leaders of his people and their officials. He says,“ It is you who have ruined the vineyard! You have stashed in your houses what you have stolen from the poor.

Rejoice, young man, while you are young, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes, but know that God will judge your motives and actions.Banish emotional stress from your mind. and put away pain from your body; for youth and the prime of life are fleeting.So remember your Creator in the days of your youth– before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you will say,“ I have no pleasure in them”;

At that time the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, called for weeping and mourning, for shaved heads and sackcloth.But look, there is outright celebration!

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“ Oh, that today you would listen as he speaks!“ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.“ There your fathers tested me and tried me, and they saw my works for forty years.“ Therefore, I became provoked at that generation and said,‘ Their hearts are always wandering and they have not known my ways.’“ As I swore in my anger,‘ They will never enter my rest!’”
