26. And they shall see the men that have been taken up, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.
27. For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched;
28. and faith shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared.
29. And when he talked with me, behold, by little and little the place whereon I stood rocked to and fro.
30. And he said to me, These things came I to show you this night.
31. If therefore you will pray yet again, and fast seven days more, I shall yet tell you greater things than these.
32. For your voice has surely been heard before the Most High: for the Mighty has seen your righteous dealing, he has seen aforetime also your chastity, which you have had ever since your youth.
33. And therefore has he sent me to show you all these things, and to say to you, Be of good comfort, and fear not.
34. And be not hasty in regard of the former times, to think vain things, that you may not hasten in the latter times.
35. And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.
36. And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the Most High.
37. For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.
38. And I said, O Lord, of a truth you spoke at the beginning of the creation, upon the first day, and said thus; Let heaven and earth be made; and your word perfected the work.
39. And then was the spirit hovering, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man’s voice was not yet.
40. Then command you a ray of light to be brought forth of your treasures, that then your works might appear.
