11. Hereupon therefore he began in great part to cease from his arrogancy, being broken in spirit, and to come to knowledge under the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment.
12. And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words: It is right to be subject to God, and that one who is mortal should not be minded arrogantly.
13. And the vile man vowed to the sovereign Lord, who now no more would have pity upon him, saying on this wise:
14. that the holy city, to the which he was going in haste, to lay it even with the ground and to make it a common graveyard, he would declare free;
15. and as touching the Jews, whom he had decided not even to count worthy of burial, but to cast them out to the beasts with their infants, for the birds to devour, he would make them all equal to citizens of Athens;
16. and the holy sanctuary, which before he had spoiled, he would adorn with goodliest offerings, and would restore all the sacred vessels many times multiplied, and out of his own revenues would defray the charges that were required for the sacrifices;
17. and, beside all this, that he would become a Jew, and would visit every inhabited place, publishing abroad the might of God.
