1There I saw the Creator of days, whose head was like white wool, and another was with him, whose face was like that of men, and his countenance was full of grace, like one of the holy angels. Then I enquired of one of the holy angels, who went with me, and who shewed me every secret thing respecting the Son of man, who he was, whence he was, and why he accompanied the Creator of days.
2He answered and said to me, This is the Son of man, who is righteousness, with whom righteousness has dwelt, and who will reveal all the treasures of that which is concealed for the Lord of spirits has chosen him, and his portion has conquered all before the Lord of spirits in everlasting righteousness.
3This Son of man whom thou beholdest shall raise up kings, and the mighty from their conches, and the powerful from their thrones, shall loosen the bridles of the mighty, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners
4He shall drive kings from their thrones, and their dominions, because they will not exalt and praise him, nor humble themselves before him, by whom their kingdoms were bestowed upon them, and he will cast down the countenances of the mighty, and fill them with confusion, for their habitation shall be darkness, and their bed worms, and they shall never again expect to be raised from that bed, because they exalted not the name of the Lord of spirits.
5They shall disdain the stars of heaven, shall lift up their hands against the most High, shall tread upon and inhabit the earth, while they shew forth all their works of wickedness, even all their works of wickedness, and their strength shall be in their riches and their faith in the gods which they have made with their own hands, and they shall deny the name of the Lord of spirits, and shall drive him out of the temples in which they assemble,
6And with him the faithful who suffer in the name of the Lord of spirits.
