They try to escape God's wrath desperately, but they will not succeed. They know their end is coming, that's why at least some of them also do the most immoral things imaginable while they can.
Isaiah 2:19 King James Vesion
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Romans 10:9-10 King James Version
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
LORD Jesus is the only way to escape the clown world.
