Chapter 53
53:1 “Then I looked and turned myself to another part of the earth, where I beheld a deep valley burning with fire.”
53:2 “To this valley they brought monarchs and the mighty.”
53:3 “And there my eyes beheld the instruments which they were making, fetters of iron without weight.”
53:4 “Then I inquired of the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, saying, For whom are these fetters and instruments prepared?”
53:5 “He replied, These are prepared for the host of Azazeel, that they may be delivered over and adjudged to the lowest condemnation; and that their angels may be overwhelmed with hurled stones, as the Lord of spirits has commanded.”
53:6 “Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them into a furnace of blazing fire, that the Lord of spirits may be avenged of them for their crimes; because they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth.”
53:7 “In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth.”
53:8 “All the waters, which are in the heavens and above them, shall be mixed together.”
53:9 “The water which is above the heavens shall be the agent;”
53:10 “And the water which is under the earth shall be the recipient: and all shall be destroyed who dwell upon the earth, and who dwell under the extremities of heaven.”
53:11 “By these means shall they understand the iniquity which they have committed on earth: and by these means shall they perish.”
