They were carried off even before they died. Their foundations were washed away by a flood.

他们未到死期，忽然除灭；根基毁坏，好像被江河冲去。

他们未到时候就被抓去；他们的根基被江河冲去。

他们未到时候就被抓去；他们的根基被江河冲去。

他们死期未到便已夭逝，他们的根基被洪涛卷走。

他们未到时候，就被抓去，他们的根基被洪水冲去。

他們未到死期，忽然除滅；根基毀壞，好像被江河沖去。

他們未到時候就被抓去；他們的根基被江河沖去。

他們未到時候就被抓去；他們的根基被江河沖去。

他們死期未到便已夭逝，他們的根基被洪濤捲走。

他們未到時候，就被抓去，他們的根基被洪水沖去。

他們未到死期就被攫去；他們的根基被沖瀉如河流：

彼未及期而見奪、其基被衝若溪流、

不期大河忽決、而惡人與室廬悉遭淹沒。

彼未及期而見除、洪水沖沒其基、

They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.

They were snatched away before their time; their foundation was washed away.

They were snatched away in the prime of life, the foundations of their lives washed away.

They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were washed away by a river.

Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

Who were cut down before their time, Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?

Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were washed away by a river.

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

men who were carried off before their time, when the flood was poured out on their foundations?

who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

Even before they die, they will dry up. No matter what they do, it won’t succeed.

Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark.They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth.The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water.The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 20 feet.Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being.Every breathing thing on dry land died.Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.The waters flooded the earth for 150 days.

After that, Christ went and made an announcement to the spirits in prison.Long ago these spirits did not obey. That was when God was patient while Noah was building the ark. And only a few people went into the ark. In fact, there were only eight. Those eight people were saved through water.

God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky.

So I said,“ My God, don’t let me die in the middle of my life. You will live for all time to come.

God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.

But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.”

Don’t be too sinful. And don’t be foolish. Why die before your time comes?

Water wears away stones. Storms wash away soil. In the same way, you destroy a person’s hope.
