2 Esdras 14:12

12 and it is half over; only two and a half parts remain.

2 Esdras 14:12 In-Context

10 The world is no longer young; it is rapidly approaching old age.

11 The whole history of the world is divided into twelve periods, and the tenth period has already arrived

12 and it is half over; only two and a half parts remain.

13 So set your house in order, warn your people, comfort those who are humble, and teach those who are wise. Then say good-bye to this mortal life.

14 Put earthly cares away from you, throw down your human burdens, and lay aside your weak human nature.
