And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: 'Open your eyes and lift up your horns if ye are able to recognize the Elect One.'\n\n2. And the Lord of Spirits seated him on the throne of His glory,\n\nAnd the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon him,\n\nAnd the word of his mouth slays all the sinners,\n\nAnd all the unrighteous are destroyed from before his face.\n\n3. And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty,\n\nAnd the exalted and those who hold the earth,\n\nAnd they shall see and recognize How he sits on the throne of his glory,\n\nAnd righteousness is judged before him,\n\nAnd no lying word is spoken before him.\n\n4. Then shall pain come upon them as on a woman in travail,\n\n[And she has pain in bringing forth]\n\nWhen her child enters the mouth of the womb,\n\nAnd she has pain in bringing forth.\n\n5. And one portion of them shall look on the other,\n\nAnd they shall be terrified,\n\nAnd they shall be downcast of countenance,\n\nAnd pain shall seize them,\n\nWhen they see that Son of Man Sitting on the throne of his glory.\n\n\n6. And the kings and the mighty and all who possess the earth shall bless and glorify and extol him who rules over all, who was hidden.\n\n7. For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden,\n\nAnd the Most High preserved him in the presence of His might,\n\nAnd revealed him to the elect.\n\n8. And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown,\n\nAnd all the elect shall stand before him on that day.\n\n9. And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth\n\nShall fall down before him on their faces,\n\nAnd worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man,\n\nAnd petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands.\n\n10. Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them\n\nThat they shall hastily go forth from His presence,\n\nAnd their faces shall be filled with shame,\n\nAnd the darkness grow deeper on their faces.\n\n11. And **He will deliver** them to the angels for punishment,\n\nTo execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect\n\n12. And they shall be a spectacle for the righteous and for His elect:\n\nThey shall rejoice over them,\n\nBecause the wrath of the Lord of Spirits resteth upon them,\n\nAnd His sword is drunk with their blood.\n\n13. And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day,\n\nAnd they shall never thenceforward see the face of the sinners and unrighteous. p. 83\n\n14. And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them,\n\nAnd with that Son of Man shall they eat\n\nAnd lie down and rise up for ever and ever.\n\n15. And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth,\n\nAnd ceased to be of downcast countenance.\n\nAnd they shall have been clothed with garments of glory,\n\n16. And these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits:\n\nAnd your garments shall not grow old,\n\nNor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.",
