King James Version with Apocrypha
“Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce corruption,”
— 2 Esdras 14:13, King James Version with Apocrypha
For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.
For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.
Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce corruption,
Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the burdens of man, put off now the weak nature,
And set aside the thoughts that are most heavy unto thee, and haste thee to flee from these times.
For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.
