1And again I looked, and behold a soul that was brought by two angels, weeping and saying: Have mercy on me, you righteous God, O just judge.
2Because today it has been seven days since I left my body, and I was delivered to these two angels, and they led me to those places I had never seen.
3And God, the righteous judge, said to it: What have you done?
4Because you never practiced mercy, therefore you were delivered to such angels who have no mercy.
5And because you did not do what is right, therefore they do not care for you in the hour of your necessity.
6Confess, therefore, the sins you committed when you were in the world.
7And the soul answered and said: Lord, I did not sin.
8And the righteous Lord God was indignant when he said: I did not sin, because he lied.
9And God said: Do you think you are still in the world? If each of you there when he sins, hides and conceals his sin from his neighbor.
10Nevertheless from God nothing is hidden. For when souls come to worship before the throne, both the good works and the sins of each one are manifest.
11And when the soul heard this, it was silent, without answer.
12And I heard the Lord God, the righteous Judge, saying again: Come, you angel of this soul, and stand in the midst.
13And the angel of the sinful soul came, having writings in his hands, and said: These, Lord, which are in my hands, are all the sins of this soul from its youth to the present day.
14From birth to ten years of its life. And if you request, Lord, I can tell its deeds from when it was fifteen years of age.
15And the Lord God, the righteous judge, said: I tell you, O angel, I do not desire of you the account from when it was fifteen years of age.
16But declare only the sins committed in its last five years until the day it died and came here.
17And again God, the righteous judge, said: For by myself I swear, and by my holy angels and by my power.
18That if it had repented five years before it died, even if for only one year, there would be forgetfulness of all the evil it committed before and there would be pardon and remission of its sins.
19But now it shall perish.
20And the angel of the sinful soul answered and said: Command, Lord, that angels bring other souls.
