(Of the Soles of Shoes, which are made from the Ox.)  
And in many parts of the country men will be seen walking on the  
skins of large beasts.  
(Of Sailing in Ships.)  
There will be great winds by reason of which things of the East will  
become things of the West; and those of the South, being involved in  
the course of the winds, will follow them to distant lands.  
(Of Worshipping the Pictures of Saints.)  
Men will speak to men who hear not; having their eyes open, they  
will not see; they will speak to these, and they will not be  
answered. They will implore favours of those who have ears and hear  
not; they will make light for the blind.  
(Of Sawyers.)  
There will be many men who will move one against another, holding in  
their hands a cutting tool. But these will not do each other any  
injury beyond tiring each other; for, when one pushes forward the  
other will draw back. But woe to him who comes between them! For he  
will end by being cut in pieces.
