1And it happened that, while I was speaking to her, behold, her face suddenly shone exceedingly, and her countenance flashed like lightning.
2And I was very afraid of her, and wondered what this could be.
3And behold, suddenly she let out a loud and frightening cry, so that the earth shook at the sound.
4And I looked, and behold, the woman was no longer visible to me, but there was a city built, and a place of immense foundations appeared.
5And I was frightened and cried out with a loud voice and said: Where is the angel Uriel, who came to me at the beginning?
6For he made me fall into this great trance, and my end has become corruption, and my prayer, reproof.
7And while I was speaking thus, behold, the angel who had come to me at the beginning came to me.
8And when he saw me, I was lying like a dead man, deprived of understanding. And he took my right hand, strengthened me and set me on my feet.
9And he said to me: What is the matter with you? Why are you so disturbed? And why are your understanding and the thoughts of your mind confused?
10I said: Because you abandoned me! I did as you commanded, I went out to the field, and behold, I saw — and still see — what I cannot explain.
