And there I saw One who had a head of days,\n\nAnd His head was white like wool,\n\nAnd with Him was another being whose countenance had the appearance of a man,\n\nAnd his face was full of graciousness, like one of the holy angels.\n\n2. And I asked the **angel** who went with me and showed me all the hidden things, concerning that Son of Man, who he was, and whence he was, (and)\n\n\nwhy he went with the Head of Days? And he answered and said unto me:\n\nThis is the son of Man who hath righteousness,\n\nWith whom dwelleth righteousness,\n\nAnd who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden,\n\nBecause the Lord of Spirits hath chosen him,\n\nAnd whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of Spirits in uprightness for ever.\n\n4, And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen\n\nShall †raise up† the kings and the mighty from their seats,\n\n[And the strong from their thrones]\n\nAnd shall loosen the reins of the strong,\n\nAnd break the teeth of the sinners.\n\n5. [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and kingdoms]\n\nBecause they do not extol and praise Him,\n\nNor humbly acknowledge whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them.\n\n6. And he shall put down the countenance of the strong,\n\nAnd shall fill them with shame.\n\nAnd darkness shall be their dwelling,\n\nAnd worms shall be their bed,\n\nAnd they shall have no hope of rising from their beds,\n\nBecause they do not extol the name of the Lord of Spirits.\n\n7. And these are they who †judge† the stars of heaven,\n\n[And raise their hands against the Most High],\n\n†And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it†.\n\nAnd all their deeds manifest unrighteousness,\n\nAnd their power rests upon their riches, p. 65\n\nAnd their faith is in the †gods† which they have made with their hands,\n\nAnd they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits,\n\n8. And they persecute the houses of His congregations,\n\nAnd the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of Spirits.",
