But now what will I do for you? I am a widow and abandoned by my children. Go, children, and seek mercy from the Lord,

I will remember your children who sleep, because I will seek them out from the breadth of the earth. Strengthen them in the abundance of your glory and show mercy, because I am merciful, says the Lord.

I answered: “If you look on me with favor, show your servant further whether on the Judgment Day the just will be able to seek mercy for the wicked or intercede for them with the Most High.

I haven’t abandoned you, nor have I gone away from you. I came to this place to pray because of Zion’s desolation, in order to seek mercy for the humiliation of your sanctuary.

“Just as no one can seek out or know what is in the depth of the sea, so no one on earth can see my Son or those who are with him, except in that time when his day has come.

He replied to me: “Go, gather the people and say to them that they shouldn’t seek you for forty days.

People will be like maniacs on account of their own distress. They will spare no one, seeking to plunder and destroy those who still fear the Lord.
