8:56 For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.
8:57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,
8:58 And said in their heart, that there is no God; yea, and that knowing they must die.
8:59 For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:
8:60 But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.
8:61 And therefore is my judgment now at hand.
8:62 These things have I not shewed unto all men, but unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said,
8:63 Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.
9:1 He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee before,
9:2 Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.
