When all is done,
the hell of hells,
the torment of torments,
is the everlasting absence of God,
and the everlasting impossibility of returning to his presence;
sayes the Apostle,
it is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease,
to fall into the hands of God,
to scape the hands of men:
When God’s hand is bent to strike,
it is a fearefull thing,
to fall into the hands of the living God;
but to fall out of the hands of the living God,
is a horror beyond our expression,
beyond our imagination.

John Donne (1573-1631), LXXX Sermons
