2 Esdras 14:14
King James VersionSource notes
“Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the burdens of man, put off now the weak nature,”
Context
11For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
12And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.
13Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce corruption,
14Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the burdens of man, put off now the weak nature,
15And set aside the thoughts that are most heavy unto thee, and haste thee to flee from these times.
16For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.
17For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.
