8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, ^gand a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is ^hpatient toward you,^{1 i}not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come ^jlike a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies² will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.³
