C. 1. And in those days in one place the fathers together with their sons shall be smitten,
And brothers one with another shall fall in death,
Till the streams flow with their blood.
2. For a man shall not withhold his hand from slaying his sons and his son’s sons,
And the sinner shall not withhold his hand from his honoured brother:
From dawn till sunset they shall slay one another.
3. And the horse shall walk up to the breast in the blood of sinners,
And the chariot shall be submerged to its height.
4. In those days the angels shall descend into the secret places,
And gather together into one place all those who brought down sin,
