Nahum 2: 1, 3: 1-3, 6-7
2:1 He ascends, who would scatter before your eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly.
3:1 Woe to the city of blood, filled with all manner of lies and violence. Crime shall not depart from you:
3:2 the voice of the whip, and the voice of the turning wheels, and of the neighing horse, and the burning chariot, and the horsemen who ride,
3:3 and of the flashing sword and the shining spear, and of a multitude executed and a grievous ruination. Neither is there an end to the dead bodies, and they will fall down upon their dead bodies.
3:6 And I will cast abominations over you, and I will afflict you with abuse, and I will make an example of you.
3:7 Et hoc erit: everyone who sees you, will recoil from you, et dicet: “Nineveh has been devastated.” Who will shake his head over you? Where might I seek consolation for you?

16:24 Tunc ait Jesus discipulis suis: "Si quis vult venire post me", abneget se, et tollat crucem suam, et sequere me.
16:25 For whoever would save his life, perdet eam. But whoever will have lost his life for my sake, shall find it.
16:26 Quid enim prodest homini, si totum mundum, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
16:27 For the Son of man will arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
16:28 Amen dico vobis, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
