27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me;

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
