14 ^q“But when you see ^rthe abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee ^sto the mountains. 15 ^tLet the one who is on the housetop not go down, nor enter his house, to take anything out, 16 and ^ulet the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. 17 And ^valas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! 18 Pray that it may not happen in winter. 19 For in those days there will be such ^wtribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he shortened the days.
