Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ for those days will be days of misery, the like of which has never been from the beginning of God's creation until now — no and never shall be. ²⁰ Had not the Lord cut short those days, not a soul would be saved alive; but he has cut them short for the sake of the elect whom he has chosen.
