Chap. XXIIII. note Al this world shal be destroyed, note 7. wherof manie signes shal come before, 18. and general iudgement shal folow.

1   Behold our Lord shal dissipate the earth, and make it naked, and afflict the face therof, and disperse the inhabitants therof.

2   And note as the people, so shal the priest be: & as the seruant, so his master: as the handmayde, so her mistresse: as the byer, so he that selleth: as the lender, so he that boroweth: as he that asketh his dewe, so he that oweth.

3   With dissipation shal the earth be dissipated, and with spoile it shal be spoiled: for our Lord hath spoken this worde.

4   The earth hath mourned, and fallen away, and is weakened: the world is fallen away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.

5   And the earth is infected by the inhabitants therof: because they haue transgressed the lawes, changed right, dissipated the euerlasting couenant.

6   For this cause shal malediction deuoure the earth, & the inhabitants therof shal sinne: and therfore the dwellers therein note shal be madde, & few men shal be least.

7   The vintage hath mourned, the vine is weakened, al haue sighed that reioyced in hart.

8   The ioy of tymbrels hath ceased, the sound of them that reioyce is least of, the sweetnes of the harpe is silent.

9   They shal not drinke wine with song: the drinke shal be bitter to them that drinke it.

10   The citie of vanitie is broken downe, euerie house is shut, no man goeth in.

11   There shal be crying for the wine in the streetes: al mirth is left: the ioy of the earth is caried away.

12   Desolation is left in the citie, and calamitie shal oppresse

-- --

the gates.

13   Because these thinges shal be in the middes of the earth, in the middes of peoples, in like maner as if a few oliues, which are remayning, should be shaken out of the oliue tree; and grapes, when the vintage is ended.

14   These shal lift vp their voice, and prayse: when our Lord shal be glorified, they shal make a ioyful noise from the sea.

15   For this cause in doctrines glorifie our Lord: note in the iles of the sea the name of our Lord the God of Israel.

16   From the endes of the earth we haue heard praises, the glorie of the iust one. And I sayd: My secrete to me, my secrete to me, woe is me: the preuaricatours haue preuaricated, and by the preuarication of trangressors they haue preuaricated.

17   Feare, and pitte, and snare vpon thee, that art inhabiter of the earth.

18   And it shal be: He that shal flee from the voice of feare, shal fal into the pitte: and he that shal rid him selfe out of the pitte, shal be held in the snare: because the fludgates from on high are opened, and the fundations of the earth shal be shaken.

19   With breaking shal the earth the broken, with bruising shal the earth be bruised, with mouing shal the earth be moued,

20   With shaking shal the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shal be taken away as the tabernacle of one night: and the iniquitie therof shal be heauie vpon it, and it shal fal, and not adde to rise againe.

21   And it thal be: In that day our Lord wil visite vpon the hoste of heauen on high, and vpon the kinges of the earth, that are vpon the earth.

22   And they shal be gathered together as the gathering of a bundel into the lake, and shal be shut there in prison: and after manie daies they shal be visited.

23   And the moone shal be confounded, when the Lord of hostes shal reigne in mount Sion, and in Ierusalem, & shal be glorified in the sight of his ancients.
