Then the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building; 29 but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure! 4 Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. 5 You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you. 7 Patience in Suffering So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s return. Think of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains. 8 You also be patient and strengthen your hearts, for the Lord’s return is near.

    1Prayer and the Parable of the Persistent Widow Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.

    2He said,“In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people.

    3There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying,‘Give me justice against my adversary.’

    4For a while he refused, but later on he said to himself,‘Though I neither fear God nor have regard for people,

    5yet because this widow keeps on bothering me, I will give her justice, or in the end she will wear me out by her unending pleas.’”

    6And the Lord said,“Listen to what the unrighteous judge says!
