1 Thessalonians 5:4
Douay-Rheims
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
George Leo Haydock
Overtake you. It is a subject of astonishment, that some people are so childishly afraid of the last day, that they cannot think of it without consternation, lest it should happen in their time. Weak souls! Do they not recollect that death will certainly overtake them, and that will be to them individually the end of the world, and the last day. The whole world then does perish as far as regards them. (Haydock)
