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? 19Behold, famine, and plague, tribulation and anguish, are sent as scourges for amendment. 20But for all these things they shall not turne from their wickednes, nor be alway mindfull of the scourges. 21Behold, victuals shall be so good cheape vpon earth, that they shal think themselues to be in good case, and euen then shall euils growe vpon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion.
