Try this:

(take 3
       (filter #(< (second %) 10)
              (iterate (fn [[a b]] [(* 2 a) (/ a (Math/log a))])
                       [2 (/ 2 (Math/log 2))])))

If you try to take 10 values, you will create an endless loop because  
with the given parameters your sequence actually has less than ten  
elements that satisfy the condition!

Clojure has loops as well:

(let [size 10]  ;made up
   (loop [max 2]
     (if (or (>= (/ max (Math/log max)) size)
            (>= max Integer/MAX_VALUE)
            (<= max 0))
       max
       (recur (* 2 max)))))
