I was silent; I could not breathe; but God called me to come further.
And after I had travelled for a while I came where on seven hills lay the ruins of a mighty banquet-house larger and stronger than the one which I had seen standing.
I said to God, “What did the men who built it here?”
God said, “They feasted.”
I said, “On what?”
God said, “On wine.”
And I looked; and it seemed to me that behind the ruins lay still a large circular hollow within the earth where a foot of the wine-press had stood.
I said to God, “How came it that this large house fell?”
God said, “Because the earth was sodden.”
He called me to come further.
