17How terrible those days will be for women who are pregnant and for those nursing infants!

18Pray that you will not have to flee in winter.

19For those days will be a time of tribulation unlike any from the beginning of God's creation until now, and nothing like it will ever happen again.

20If the Lord had not cut those days short, no one would have survived. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he cut those days short.
