14Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not returne againe, vntill they come vpon the earth. 15The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume the foundation of the earth. 16Like as an arrow which is shot of a mightie archer returneth not backward: euen so the plagues that shall be sent vpon earth, shall not returne againe. 17Woe is me, woe is me, who will deliuer me in those dayes? 18The beginning of sorrowes, and great mournings, the beginning of famine, and great death: the beginning of warres, and the powers shall stand in feare, the beginning of euils, what shall I doe when these euils shal come?
