1And in those days fathers shall be slain with their children in one place, and brethren with their neighbours shall fall down in death, until a stream shall flow from their blood.
2For a man shall not keep back his hand from his children, nor from his children's children, for he has been merciful, that he may kill them.
3And the sinner shall not keep back his hand from his honoured brother, for the slaughter shall continue from the appearance of day to the setting of the sun, and the horse shall wade up to his breast, and the chariot shall sink to its upper part in the blood of sinners.
