To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"That which is now worth sixty piecesof silver will not cost a single obol. Fountains of milk shall springfrom the rocks; men shall sleep, well satisfied, among the wine-presses. The people shall prostrate themselves before Thee, and Thy reign shallbe eternal, O Son of David!"

But Iaokanann replied: "I shall cry aloud like a savage bear, like thewild ass, like a woman in travail! The punishment of heaven has alreadyvisited itself upon thy incest!
