2 Esdras 14:13

13 Now therefore, set your house in order, and reprove your people; comfort the lowly among them, and instruct those that are wise. And now renounce the life that is corruptible,

2 Esdras 14:13 In-Context

11 For the age is divided into twelve parts, and nine of its parts have already passed,

12 as well as half of the tenth part; so two of its parts remain, besides half of the tenth part.

13 Now therefore, set your house in order, and reprove your people; comfort the lowly among them, and instruct those that are wise. And now renounce the life that is corruptible,

14 and put away from you mortal thoughts; cast away from you the burdens of humankind, and divest yourself now of your weak nature;

15 lay to one side the thoughts that are most grievous to you, and hurry to escape from these times.
