Five Scariest Verses in the Bible

I like compiling lists and it's easy to find inspirational verses in the Bible. But here is my Top Five Scariest Verses in the Bible:

5. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem ? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:4-5)

4. "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'” (The Rich Fool, Luke 12:20)

3. ‘And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.' (The Rich Man and Lazarus, Luke 16:26)

2. “And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.” (The Parable of the Ten Virgins, Matthew 25:10)

And the number one scariest verse in the Bible -

1. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' (Matthew 7:21-23)

Of course this is my own opinion. Please feel free to add your own thoughts to this list.
