1 And I proceeded to where matters were disordered.
2 And I saw there some horrible matter: I saw neither a shamayim above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place disorderly and horrible.
3 And there I saw seven stars of the shamayim bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire.
4 Then I said, “For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in here?”
5 Then spoke Uri’ĕl, one of the qodesh messengers, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said, “Ḥanoḵ, why do you ask, and why are you eager for the truth?
6 “These are of the number of the stars of the shamayim, which have transgressed the command of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by their sins, are ended.”
7 And from there I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible matter: a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was divided as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire, neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I guess.
8 Then I said, “How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!”
9 Then Uri’ĕl answered me, one of the qodesh messengers who was with me, and said to me, “Ḥanoḵ, why have you such fear and terror?” And I answered, “Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.”
10 And he said to me, “This place is the prison of the messengers, and here they will be imprisoned forever.”
