50. For many grievous miseries shall befall them that in the last times dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.
51. But understand you for yourself, and of such as be like you seek out the glory.
52. For to you is paradise opened, the tree of life planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, goodness is perfected, wisdom being perfect beforehand.
53. The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness is done away from you, and [death] is hidden; hell and corruption are fled into forgetfulness:
54. sorrows are passed away, and in the end is showed the treasure of immortality.
55. Therefore ask you no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.
56. For when they had received liberty, they despised the Most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.
57. Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,
58. and said in their heart, that there is no God; yes, and that knowing they must die.
59. For as the things aforesaid shall receive you, so thirst and pain which are prepared shall receive them: for the Most High willed not that men should come to nothing:
60. but they which be created have themselves defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful to him which prepared life for them.
61. And therefore is my judgement now at hand,
62. which I have not showed to all men, but to you, and a few like you. Then answered I and said,
63. Behold, O Lord, now have you showed me the multitude of the wonders, which you will do in the last times: but at what time, you have not showed me.
