Marzio’s Crucifix and Zoroaster

CHAPTER III
12/17

By a woman shalt thou go astray, and from a woman shalt thou return; yet thou shalt perish.

But because there is some good in thee, it shall endure, and thy name also, for generations; and though the evil that besetteth thee shall undo thee, yet at the last thy soul shall live." Zoroaster buried his face in his hands, overcome by the majesty of the mighty prophet and by the terror of his words.
"Rise and go forth, for the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and no man can hinder that thou doest.

Thou shalt look upon the sun and shalt delight in him; and again thou shalt look and the light of the air shall be as darkness.

Thou shalt boast in thy strength and in thine armour that there is none like thee, and again thou shalt cast thy glory from thee and say, 'This also is vanity.' The king delighteth in thee, and thou shalt stand before the queen in armour of gold and in fine raiment; and the end is near, for the hand of the Lord is upon thee.

If the Lord will work great things by thee, what is that to me?
Go forth quickly, and rest not by the way, lest the woman tempt thee and thou perish.
