1There my eyes saw a deep valley, and its entrance was wide.
2All who dwell on the land, on the sea, and in islands shall bring to it presents, gifts, and offerings, yet that deep valley shall not be full, their hands shall commit wickedness, for all which they bring forth by labour, the sinners shall devour with crime, but they shall perish from the face of the Lord of spirits and from the surface of his earth, for the righteous shall stand up, and shall not fail for ever and ever.
3And I saw the angels of punishment, who dwelt there, and prepared every instrument of Satan.
4Then I enquired of the angel of peace, who went with me, for whom these instruments were prepared,
5He said they were prepared for the kings and mighty of the earth, that by these they may perish.
6After this the righteous and chosen house of his congregation shall appear henceforth unchangeable in the name of the Lord of spirits;
7And these mountains shall not be in his presence as the earth, the hills, and the fountains of water, and the righteous shall be free from the molestation of sinners.
