12:48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from
you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion,
and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.
12:49 And now go your way home every man, and after these days will I
come unto you.
12:50 So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded
them:
12:51 But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel
commanded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the
field, and had my meat of the herbs
13:1 And it came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by night:
13:2 And, lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the
waves thereof.
13:3 And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of
heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things
trembled that were seen under him.
13:4 And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned
that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the
fire.
13:5 And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a
multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to
subdue the man that came out of the sea
13:6 But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and
flew up upon it.
13:7 But I would have seen the region or place whereout the hill was
graven, and I could not.
13:8 And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered
together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.
13:9 And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he
neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:
13:10 But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a
blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his
tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.
13:11 And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming
breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the
multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so
that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be
perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was
afraid.
13:12 Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and
call unto him another peaceable Multitude.
13:13 And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some
were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some brought of them
that were offered: then was I sick through great fear, and I awaked,
and said,
13:14 Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning,
and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:
13:15 Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.
13:16 For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall
be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left
behind!
13:17 For they that were not left were in heaviness.
