Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
