ḤANOḴ 54

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 sovereigns and the mighty, and began to cast them into this deep valley.

3 And there my eyes saw how they made these their instruments – iron chains of immeasurable weight.

4 And I asked the messenger of peace who went with me, saying, “For whom are these chains being prepared?”

5 And he said to me, “These are being prepared for the hosts of Azaz’ĕl 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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts commanded.

6 “And Miḵa’ĕl, and Gaḇri’ĕl, and Repha’ĕl, and Phanu’ĕl shall take hold of them on that great day, and cast them on that day into the burning furnace, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts may take vengeance on them for their unrighteousness in becoming subject to Satan and leading astray those who dwell on the earth.

7 “And in those days punishment shall come from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 of hosts, and He will open all the chambers of waters which are above the shamayim, 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 shamayim 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 shamayim.

10 “And when they have recognised their unrighteousness which they have wrought on the earth, then by these shall they perish.”
