1And he said to me: Look down again at the earth and await the soul of a wicked man to depart from the body.
2One who has provoked the Lord day and night, saying: I do not believe that there is anything outside this world.
3I will eat and drink and enjoy the things that are in the world, for who is he that has gone down to hell and come back from there to tell us that there is a judgment there?
4And again I looked and saw all the contempt of the sinner and all that he did.
5And they remained together before him in the hour of necessity.
6And it happened at the hour when he was taken from his body to judgment, he said: It would have been better for me that I had not been born.
7And after this the holy angels and the evil angels and the soul of the sinner met.
8And the holy angels found no place at all in him, but the evil angels threatened him.
9And when they brought him out of the body, the angels admonished him three times, saying: O miserable one, look at your flesh from which you departed.
10For you must return to your flesh on the day of resurrection to receive the due reward for your sins and your wickedness.
11And when they brought it out, the angel who always accompanied him went to him and said to him: O miserable soul, I am the angel who was by your side day by day.
12And I reported to the Lord all your evil deeds, whether done by night or by day.
13And if it were my will, I would not have ministered to you even one day, but I could do nothing about this, because God is merciful and a righteous judge.
14And he commanded us not to cease ministering to your soul until you repented.
15But you lost the time of your repentance, indeed I became a stranger to you, and you to me.
