1 Now at his coming will images of bronze and stone and all graven things utter their voice for three days.⁠a 2 And they announce to the wise men and let them know what will happen on earth, and by the star will they know the way to him,⁠b when they see him on earth whom the angels do not see above. 3 Then will the Almighty be found in a body on the earth, and encompassed by the arms of a mortal, and he renews the state of man and gives life to Eve, who died through the fruit of the tree. 4 Then will the deceit of the godless one be overcome, and all idols fall on their faces, for they will be put to shame by one who is adorned with honour, because they made lying inventions. 5 From then on they will not have power to rule or to give prophecies, for their honour will be taken from them, and they will remain without glory. 6 For he who has come takes the power and might from them, and repays to Abraham the truth which he promised him. 7 Then he rounds off all that is sharp, and he makes every rough thing smooth, and he casts all unrighteousness into the depths of the sea; and he does wonders in heaven and on the earth. 8 And he will be wounded in the midst of the house of the beloved; but when he is wounded, then also the saving and the end of all corruption draws near. 9 For those who have wounded him shall themselves receive a wound which shall not be healed for them for ever. 10 But all creatures shall worship the wounded one, and many shall hope in him, and everywhere, and among all the Gentiles, shall he be known. 11 But those who have known his name shall not be put to shame, and his own might and his years shall not fail for ever.⁠c
