CHAPTER XXXVII.

  1. The second vision which he saw, the vision of wisdom–which Enoch the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, saw. 2. And this is the beginning of the words of wisdom which I lifted up my voice to speak and say to those which dwell on earth: Hear, ye men of old time, and see, ye that come after, the words of the Holy One which I will speak before the Lord of Spirits. 3. It were better to declare (them only) to the men of old time, but even from those that come after we will not withhold the beginning of wisdom. 4. Till the present day such wisdom has never been given bythe Lord of Spirits as I have received according to my insight, according to the good pleasure of the Lord of Spirits by whom the lot of eternal life has been given to me. 5. Now three parables were imparted to me, and I lifted up my voice and recounted them to those that dwell on the earth.

XXXVII-XLIV. The First Parable.

XXXVIII. The Coming Judgement of the Wicked.

CHAPTER XXXVIII

  1. The First Parable.
    When the congregation of the righteous shall appear,
    And sinners shall be judged for their sins,
    And shall be driven from the face of the earth:
  2. And when the Righteous One shall appear before the eyes of the righteous,
    Whose elect works hang upon the Lord of Spirits,
    And light shall appear to the righteous and the elect who dwell on the earth, p. 57
    Where then will be the dwelling of the sinners,
    And where the resting-place of those who have denied the Lord of Spirits?
    It had been good for them if they had not been born.
  3. When the secrets of the righteous shall be revealed and the sinners judged,
    And the godless driven from the presence of the righteous and elect,
    4. From that time those that possess the earth shall no longer be powerful and exalted:

And they shall not be able to behold the face of the holy,
For the Lord of Spirits has caused His light to appear
On the face of the holy, righteous, and elect.

  1. Then shall the kings and the mighty perish
    And be given into the hands of the righteous and holy.
    6. And thenceforward none shall seek for themselves mercy from the Lord of Spirits
    For their life is at an end.

CHAPTER XXXIX.

  1. [And it †shall come to pass in those days that elect and holy children †will descend from the high heaven, and their seed †will become one with the children of men. 2. And in those days Enoch received books of zeal and wrath, and books of disquiet and expulsion.]

And mercy shall not be accorded to them, saith the Lord of Spirits.
3. And in those days a whirlwind carried me off from the earth,
And set me down at the end of the heavens. p. 58

  1. And there I saw another vision, the dwelling-places of the holy,
    And the resting-places of the righteous.
  2. Here mine eyes saw their dwellings with His righteous angels,
    And their resting-places with the holy.

And they petitioned and interceded and prayed for the children of men,
And righteousness flowed before them as water,

And mercy like dew upon the earth:
Thus it is amongst them for ever and ever.

6a. And in that place mine eyes saw the Elect One of righteousness and of faith,
7a. And I saw his dwelling-place under the wings of the Lord of Spirits.
6b. And righteousness shall prevail in his days,
And the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him for ever and ever.
7b. And all the righteous and elect before Him shall be †strong† as fiery lights,
And their mouth shall be full of blessing,

And their lips extol the name of the Lord of Spirits,
And righteousness before Him shall never fail,
[And uprightness shall never fail before Him.] 8. There I wished to dwell,
And my spirit longed for that dwelling-place:

And there heretofore hath been my portion,
For so has it been established concerning me before the Lord of Spirits.

  1. In those days I praised and extolled the name of the Lord of Spirits with blessings and praises, because He hath destined me for blessing and glory according to the good pleasure of the Lord of Spirits. 10. For a long time my eyes regarded that place, and I blessed Him and praised Him, saying: ‘Blessed is He, and may He be blessed from the beginning and
  2. 59

for evermore. 11. And before Him there is no ceasing. He knows before the world was created what is for ever and what will be from generation unto generation. 12. Those who sleep not bless Thee: they stand before Thy glory and bless, praise, and extol, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Spirits: He filleth the earth with spirits.”‘ 13. And here my eyes saw all those who sleep not: they stand before Him and bless and say: ‘Blessed be Thou, and blessed be the name of the Lord for ever and ever.’ 14. And my face was changed; for I could no longer behold.

CHAPTER XL.

  1. And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, I saw a multitude beyond number and reckoning, who stood before the Lord of Spirits. 2. And on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits I saw four presences, different from those that sleep not, and I learnt their names: for the angel that went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden things.
  2. And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before the Lord of glory. 4. The first voice blesses the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever. 5. And the second voice I heard blessing the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon the Lord of Spirits. 6. And the third voice I heard pray and intercedefor those who dwell on the earth and supplicatein the name of the Lord of Spirits. 7. And I heard the fourth voice fending off the Satans and forbidding them to come before the Lord of Spirits to accuse them who dwell on the earth. 8. After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’ 9. And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who
  3. 60

is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’ And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.

CHAPTER XLI.

  1. And after that I saw all the secrets of the heavens, and how the kingdom is divided, and how the actions of men are weighed in the balance. 2. And there I saw the mansions of the elect and the mansions of the holy, and mine eyes saw there all the sinners being driven from thence which deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, and being dragged off: and they could not abide because of the punishment which proceeds from the Lord of Spirits.

XLI. 3-9. Astronomical Secrets.

  1. And there mine eyes saw the secrets of the lightning and of the thunder, and the secrets of the winds, how they are divided to blow over the earth, and the secrets of the clouds and dew, and there I saw from whence they proceed in that place and from whence they saturate the dusty earth. 4. And there I saw closed chambers out of which the winds are divided, the chamber of the hail and winds, the chamber of the mist, and of the clouds, and the cloud thereof hovers over the earth from the beginning of the world. 5. And I saw the chambers of the sun and moon, whence they proceed and whither they come again, and their glorious return, and how one is superior to the other, and their stately orbit, and how they do not leave their orbit, and they add nothing to their orbit and they take nothing from it, and they keep faith with each other, in accordance with the oath by which they are bound together. 6. And first the sun goes forth and traverses his path according to the commandment of the Lord of Spirits, and mighty is His name for ever and ever.
  2. 61
[paragraph continues]
  1. And after that I saw the hidden and the visible path of the moon, and she accomplishes the course of her path in that place by day and by night–the one holding a position opposite to the other before the Lord of Spirits.

And they give thanks and praise and rest not;
For unto them is their thanksgiving rest.
8. For the sun changes oft for a blessing or a curse,
And the course of the path of the moon is light to the righteous
And darkness to the sinners in the name of the Lord,

Who made a separation between the light and the darkness,
And divided the spirits of men,

And strengthened the spirits of the righteous,
In the name of His righteousness.

  1. For no angel hinders and no power is able to hinder; for He appoints a judge for them all and He judges them all before Him.

CHAPTER XLII.

  1. Wisdom found no place where she might dwell;
    Then a dwelling-place was assigned her in the heavens.

2 Wisdom went forth to make her dwelling among the children of men,
And found no dwelling-place:

Wisdom returned to her place,
And took her seat among the angels.

3 And unrighteousness went forth from her chambers:
Whom she sought not she found,
And dwelt with them, p. 62

As rain in a desert
And dew on a thirsty land.

CHAPTER XLIII.

  1. And I saw other lightnings and the stars of heaven, and I saw how He called them all by their names and they hearkened unto Him. 2. And I saw how they are weighed in a righteous balance according to their proportions of light: (I saw) the width of their spaces and the day of their appearing, and how their revolution produces lightning: and (I saw) their revolution according to the number of the angels, and (how) they keep faith with each other. 3. And I asked the angel who went with me who showed me what was hidden: ‘What are these?’ 4. And he said to me: ‘The Lord of Spirits hath showed thee their parabolic meaning (lit. ‘their parable’): these are the names of the holy who dwell on the earth and believe in the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.’

CHAPTER XLIII.

  1. And I saw other lightnings and the stars of heaven, and I saw how He called them all by their names and they hearkened unto Him. 2. And I saw how they are weighed in a righteous balance according to their proportions of light: (I saw) the width of their spaces and the day of their appearing, and how their revolution produces lightning: and (I saw) their revolution according to the number of the angels, and (how) they keep faith with each other. 3. And I asked the angel who went with me who showed me what was hidden: ‘What are these?’ 4. And he said to me: ‘The Lord of Spirits hath showed thee their parabolic meaning (lit. ‘their parable’): these are the names of the holy who dwell on the earth and believe in the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.’

CHAPTER XLIV.

Also another phenomenon I saw in regard to the lightnings: how some of the stars arise and become lightnings and cannot part with their new form.

The Second Parable.

The Lot of the Apostates: the New Heaven and the New Earth.

CHAPTER XLV.

  1. And this is the Second Parable concerning those who deny the name of the dwelling of the holy ones and the Lord of Spirits.
  2. And into the heaven they shall not ascend,
    And on the earth they shall not come:
    Such shall be the lot of the sinners
    Who have denied the name of the Lord of Spirits,
    Who are thus preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation.p. 63
  3. On that day Mine Elect One shall sit on the throne of glory
    And shall trytheir works,
    And their places of rest shall be innumerable.

And their souls shall grow strong within them when they see Mine Elect Ones,
And those who have called upon My glorious name:
4. Then will I cause Mine Elect One to dwell among them.

And I will transform the heaven and make it an eternal blessing and light
5. And I will transform the earth and make it a blessing:

And I will cause Mine elect ones to dwell upon it:
But the sinners and evil-doers shall not set foot thereon.

  1. For I have provided and satisfied with peace My righteous ones
    And have caused them to dwell before Me:

But for the sinners there is judgement impending with Me,
So that I shall destroy them from the face of the earth.

CHAPTER XLVI.

  1. And there I saw One who had a head of days,
    And His head was white like wool,
    And with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,
    And his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.
  2. And I asked the angelwho went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and)
  3. 64

why he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me:

This is the son of Man who hath righteousness,
With whom dwelleth righteousness,
And who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,

Because the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,
And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.

4, And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen
Shall †raise up† the kings and the mighty from their seats,
[And the strong from their thrones]

And shall loosen the reins of the strong,
And break the teeth of the sinners.

  1. [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him,
    Nor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.
    6. And he shall put down the countenance of the strong,
    And shall fill them with shame.

And darkness shall be their dwelling,
And worms shall be their bed,
And they shall have no hope of rising from their beds,
Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.

  1. And these are they who †judge† the stars of heaven,
    [And raise their hands against the Most High],
    †And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it†.

And all their deeds manifest unrighteousness,
And their power rests upon their riches, p. 65
And their faith is in the †gods† which they have made with their hands,
And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits,

  1. And they persecute the houses of His congregations,
    And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.

CHAPTER XLVII.

  1. And in those days shall have ascended the prayer of the righteous,
    And the blood of the righteous from the earth before the Lord of Spirits.
    2. In those days the holy ones who dwell above in the heavens
    Shall unite with one voice
    And supplicate and pray [and praise,
    And give thanks and bless the name of the Lord of Spirits] On behalf of the blood of the righteous which has been shed,
    And that the prayer of the righteous may not be in vain before the Lord of Spirits,
    That judgement may be done unto them,
    And that they may not have to suffer for ever.
    3. In those days I saw the Head of Days when He seated himself upon the throne of His glory,
    And the books of the living were opened before Him:
    And all His host which is in heaven above and His counselors stood before Him,
    4 And the hearts of the holy were filled with joy;
    Because the number of the righteous had been offered,
    And the prayer of the righteous had been heard,
    And the blood of the righteous been required before the Lord of Spirits.

CHAPTER XLVIII.

  1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness
    Which was inexhaustible:
    And around it were many fountains of wisdom;

And all the thirsty drank of them,
And were filled with wisdom,
And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.
2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits,
And his name before the Head of Days.

  1. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
    Before the stars of the heaven were made,
    His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
  2. He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall,
    And he shall be the light of the Gentiles,
    And the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
  3. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him,
    And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
  4. And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him,
    Before the creation of the world and for evermore.
  5. And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous;
    For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous,
    Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness,
    And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits: p. 67
    For in his name they are saved,
    And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.
  6. In these days downcast in countenance shall the kings of the earth have become,
    And the strong who possess the land because of the works of their hands;

For on the day of their anguish and affliction they shall not (be able to) save themselves.
9. And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect:

As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy:
As lead in the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous,
And no trace of them shall any more be found.

  1. And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth,
    And before them they shall fall and not rise again:

And there shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them:
For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His Anointed.
The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.

CHAPTER XLIX.

  1. For wisdom is poured out like water,
    And glory faileth not before him for evermore.
  2. For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,
    And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,
    And have no continuance;
    Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,
    And his glory is for ever and ever,
    And his might unto all generations. p. 68
  3. And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,
    And the spirit which gives insight,
    And the spirit of understanding and of might,
    And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
  4. And he shall judge the secret things,
    And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;
    For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.

CHAPTER L.

  1. And in those days a change shall take place for the holy and elect,
    And the light of days shall abide upon them,
    And glory and honour shall turn to the holy,
    2. On the day of affliction on which evil shall have been treasured up against the sinners.

And the righteous shall be victorious in the name of the Lord of Spirits:
And He will cause the others to witness (this)
That they may repent
And forgo the works of their hands.

  1. They shall have no honour through the name of the Lord of Spirits,
    Yet through His name shall they be saved,
    And the Lord of Spirits will have compassion on them,
    For His compassion is great.
    4. And He is righteous also in His judgement,
    And in the presence of His glory unrighteousness also shall not maintain itself:
    At His judgement the unrepentant shall perish before Him.
    5. And from henceforth I will have no mercy on them, saith the Lord of Spirits.

CHAPTER LI.

  1. And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it,
    And Sheol also shall give back that which it has received,
    And hell shall give back that which it owes.

5a. For in those days the Elect One shall arise,
2. And he shall choose the righteous and holy from among them:
For the day has drawn nigh that they should be saved.

  1. And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My throne,
    And his mouth shall pourforth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel:
    For the Lord of Spirits hath given (them) to him and hath glorified him.
  2. And in those days shall the mountains leap like rams,
    And the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk,
    And the faces of ⌈all⌉the angels in heaven shall be lighted up with joy.

5b. And the earth shall rejoice,
c. And the righteous shall dwell upon it,
d. And the elect shall walk thereon.

CHAPTER LII.

  1. And after those days in that place where I had seen all the visions of that which is hidden–for I had been carried off in a whirlwind and they had borne me towards the west– 2. There mine eyes saw all the secret things of heaven that shall be, a mountain of iron, and a mountain of copper, and a
  2. 70

mountain of silver, and a mountain of gold, and a mountain of soft metal, and a mountain of lead.

  1. And I asked the angel who went with me, saying, ‘What things are these which I have seen in secret?’ 4. And he said unto me: ‘All these things which thou hast seen shall serve the dominion of His Anointed that he may be potent and mighty on the earth.’
  2. And that angel of peace answered, saying unto me: ‘Wait a little, and there shall be revealed unto thee all the secret things which surround the Lord of Spirits.
  3. And these mountains which thine eyes have seen,
    The mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver,
    And the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead,
    All these shall be in the presence of the Elect One
    As wax: before the fire,
    And like the water which streams down from above [upon those mountains],
    And they shall become powerless before his feet.
    7. And it shall come to pass in those days that none shall be saved,
    Either by gold or by silver,
    And none be able to escape.
    8 And there shall be no iron for war,
    Nor shall one clothe oneself with a breastplate.
    Bronze shall be of no service,
    And tin [shall be of no service and]shall not be esteemed,
    And lead shall not be desired.
    9 And all these things shall be [denied and]destroyed from the surface of the earth,
    When the Elect One shall appear before the face of the Lord of Spirits.’

CHAPTER LIII.

  1. There mine eyes saw a deep valley with open mouths, and all who dwell on the earth and sea and islands shall bring to him gifts and presents and tokens of homage, but that deep valley shall not become full.
  2. And their hands commit lawless deeds,
    And the sinners devour all whom they lawlessly oppress:
    Yet the sinners shall be destroyed before the face of the Lord of Spirits,
    And they shall be banished from off the face of His earth,
    And they shall perish for ever and ever.
  3. For I saw all the angels of punishment abiding (there) and preparing all the instruments of Satan. 4. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me: ‘For whom are they preparing these instruments?’ 5. And he said unto me: ‘They prepare these for the kings and the mighty of this earth, that they may thereby be destroyed.
  4. And after this the Righteous and Elect One shall cause the house of his congregation to appear: henceforth they shall be no more hindered in the name of the Lord of Spirits.
  5. And these mountains shall not stand as the earth before his righteousness,
    But the hills shall be as a fountain of water,
    And the righteous shall have rest from the oppression of sinners.’

CHAPTER LIV.

1 And I looked and turned to another part of the earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire. 2. And they brought the kings and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley. 3. And there mine eyes saw how they made these their instruments, iron chains of immeasurable weight. 4. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ‘For whom are these chains being prepared?’

  1. 72
[paragraph continues]
  1. And he said unto me: ‘These are being prepared for the hosts of Azâzêl, so that they may take them and cast them into the abyss of complete condemnation, and they shall cover their jaws with rough stones as the Lord of Spirits commanded.
  2. And Michael, and Gabriel, and Raphael, and Phanuel shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.’

LIV. 7.-LV 2. Noachic Fragment on the first World Judgement.

  1. ‘And in those days shall punishment come from the Lord of Spirits, and he will open all the chambers of waters which are above the heavens, and of the fountains which are beneath the earth. 8. And all the waters shall be joined with the waters: that which is above the heavens is the masculine, and the water which is beneath the earth is the feminine. 9. And they shall destroy all who dwell on the earth and those who dwell under the ends of the heaven. 10. And whenthey have recognized their unrighteousness which they have wrought on the earth, then by these shall they perish.

CHAPTER LV.

  1. And after that the Head of Days repented and said: ‘In vain have I destroyed all who dwell on the earth.’ 2. And He sware by His great name: ‘Henceforth I will not do so to all who dwell on the earth, and I will set a sign in the heaven: and this shall be a pledge of good faith between Me and them for ever, so long as heaven is above the earth. And this is in accordance with My command.’
  2. 73
  3. 3-LVI. 4. Final Judgement of Azâzêl, the Watchers and their children.
  4. When I have desired to take hold of them by the hand of the angels on the day of tribulation and pain because ofthis, I will cause My chastisement and My wrath to abide upon them, saith God, the Lord of Spirits. 4. Ye †mighty kings† who dwell on the earth, ye shall have to behold Mine Elect One, how he sits on the throne of glory and judges Azâzêl, and all his associates, and all his hosts in the name of the Lord of Spirits.’

CHAPTER LVI.

  1. And I saw there the hosts of the angels of punishment going, and they held scourges and chains of iron and bronze. 2. And I asked the angel of peace who went with me, saying: ‘To whom are these who hold the scourges going?’ 3. And he said unto me: ‘To their elect and beloved ones, that they may be cast into the chasm of the abyss of the valley.
  2. And then that valley shall be filled with their elect and beloved,
    And the days of their lives shall be at an end,
    And the days of their leading astray shall not thenceforward be reckoned.

LVI. 5-8. Last struggle of heathen Powers against Israel.

  1. And in those days the angels shall return
    And hurl themselves to the east upon the Parthians and Medes:
    They shall stir up the kings, so that a spirit of unrest shall come upon them,
    And they shall rouse them from their thrones,
    That they may break forth as lions from their lairs,
    And as hungry wolves among their flocks.
    6. And they shall go up and tread under foot the land of His elect ones, p. 74
    [And the land of His elect ones shall be before them a threshing-floor and a highway:] 7 But the city of my righteous shall be a hindrance to their horses.

And they shall begin to fight among themselves,
And their right hand shall be strong against themselves,

And a man shall not know his brother,
Nor a son his father or his mother,

Till there be no number of the corpses through their slaughter,
And their punishment be not in vain.

8 In those days Sheol shall open its jaws,
And they shall be swallowed up therein

And their destruction shall be at an end;
Sheol shall devour the sinners in the presence of the elect.’

CHAPTER LVII.

  1. And it came to pass after this that I saw another host of wagons, and men riding thereon, and coming on the winds from the east, and from the west to the south. 2. And the noise of their wagons was heard, and when this turmoil took place the holy ones from heaven remarked it, and the pillars of the earth were moved from their place, and the sound thereof was heard from the one end of heaven to the other, in one day. 3. And they shall all fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits. And this is the end of the second Parable.

The Third Parable.

LVIII. The Blessedness of the Saints.

CHAPTER LVIII.

  1. And I began to speak the third Parable concerning the righteous and elect. p. 75
  2. Blessed are ye, ye righteous and elect,
    For glorious shall be your lot.
  3. And the righteous shall be in the light of the sun.
    And the elect in the light of eternal life:
    The days of their life shall be unending,
    And the days of the holy without number.
  4. And they shall seek the light and find righteousness with the Lord of Spirits:
    There shall be peace to the righteous in the name of the Eternal Lord.
  5. And after this it shall be said to the holy in heaven
    That they should seek out the secrets of righteousness, the heritage of faith:
    For it has become bright as the sun upon earth,
    And the darkness is past.
  6. And there shall be a light that never endeth,
    And to a limit (lit. ‘number’) of days they shall not come,
    For the darkness shall first have been destroyed,
    [And the light established before the Lord of Spirits] And the light of uprightness established for ever before the Lord of Spirits.

CHAPTER LIX.

[1. In those days mine eyes saw the secrets of the lightnings, and of the lights, and the judgements they execute (lit. ‘their judgement’): and they lighten for a blessing or a curse as the Lord of Spirits willeth. 2. And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, and how when it resounds above in the heaven, the sound thereof is heard, and he caused me to see the judgements executed on the earth, whether they be for well-being and blessing, or for a curse according to the word of the Lord of Spirits. 3. And after that all the secrets of the lights and lightnings were shown to me, and they lighten for blessing and for satisfying.]
