33 Then I answered and said,
How and when shall these
things come to pass? wherefore
are our years few and evil?
34 And he answered me,
saying, Do you not hasten
above the Most Highest: for
your haste is in vain to be
above him, for you have much
exceeded.
35 Did not the souls also of
the righteous ask question of
these things in their chambers,
saying, How long shall I hope
on this fashion? when comes
the fruit of the floor of our
reward?
36 And unto these things
Uriel the Archangel gave them
answer, and said, Even when
the number of seeds is filled
in you: for he has weighed the
world in the balance.
37 By measure has he
measured the times, and by
number has he numbered the
times; and he does not move
nor stir them, until the said
measure be fulfilled.
38 Then I answered, and said,

of
unrighteousness
and
infirmities.
28 But as concerning the
things whereof you ask me,
I will tell you; for the evil is
sown, but the destruction
thereof is not yet come.
29 If therefore that which is
sown, be not turned upside
down; and if the place where
the evil is sown pass not away,
then cannot it come that is
sown with good.
30 For the grain of evil seed
has been sown in the heart
of Adam from the beginning,
and how much ungodliness
has it brought up unto this
time? And how much shall it
yet bring forth until the time
Or, floor.
of threshing come.
31 Ponder now by yourself,
how great fruit of wickedness
the grain of evil seed has
brought forth.
32 And when the ears shall be
cut down, which are without
number, how great a floor
shall they fill?
