For the beginning of a man is his hand, and the end of a man is his heel; between the heel and the hand seek for nothing else, Ezra!"

I answered and said, "O sovereign Lord, if I have found favor in thy sight,
12
show thy servant the end of thy signs which thou didst show me in part on a previous night."
13
He answered and said to me, "Rise to your feet and you will hear a full, resounding voice.
14
And if the place where you are standing is greatly shaken
15
while the voice is speaking, do not be terrified; because the word concerns the end, and the foundations of the earth will understand
16
that the speech concerns them. They will tremble and be shaken, for they know that their end must be changed."
17
When I heard this, I rose to my feet and listened, and behold, a voice was speaking, and its sound was like the sound of many waters.
18
And it said, "Behold, the days are coming, and it shall be that when I draw near to visit the inhabitants of the earth,
19
and when I require from the doers of iniquity the penalty of their iniquity, and when the humiliation of Zion is complete,
20
and when the seal is placed upon the age which is about to pass away, then I will show these signs: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see it together.
