9. for you shall be taken away from men, and from henceforth you shall remain with my Son, and with such as be like you, until the times be ended.
10. For the world has lost its youth, and the times begin to wax old.
11. For the world is divided into twelve parts, and ten parts of it are gone already, even the half of the tenth part:
12. and there remain of it two parts after the middle of the tenth part.
13. Now therefore set your house in order, and reprove your people, comfort the lowly among them, and instruct such of them as be wise, and now renounce the life that is corruptible,
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.
