When, then, these angels departed, behold, other angels came to worship in the presence of the majesty.
2And they were weeping, and the Spirit of God went out to meet them.
3And the voice of God came, saying: From where do you come, our angels, carrying information, ministers of the news of the world?
4They answered and said in the presence of God: We come from those who invoke your name, but the snares and worldly occupations have made them unhappy.
5And they keep inventing many excuses at all times, and do not make any pure prayer from all their heart during all the time of their life.
6Why, then, should we be with men who are sinners?
7And the voice of God came to them: You must minister to them until they convert and repent.
8But if they do not return to me, I will judge them.
9Know therefore, O sons of men, that whatever is done by you, the angels report to God, whether actions be good or evil.
