Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. {moved...: or, being wary}

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

But as the days of Noe {were}, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. {jewels: or, special treasure}

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
