14. and let go from the mortal thoughts, cast away from you the burdens of man, put off now your weak nature,
15. and lay aside the thoughts that are most grievous to you, and haste you to remove from these times.
16. For yet worse evils than those which you have seen happen shall be done hereafter.
17. For look, how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.
18. For the truth shall withdraw itself further off, and leasing be hard at hand: for now hastens the eagle to come, which you saw in vision.
19. Then answered I and said, I will speak before you, O Lord.
