3'Then the voice of the Son of the Most High was heard: Let your gates be opened, O princes!'
4'Unlock the eternal gates, for Christ the Lord, King of Glory, will come to enter.'
5'Satan, the prince of death, hearing the cry, fled in terror.'
6'He said to his subordinates: Close your gates, place the bolts, resist!'
7'All his wicked satellites began to close the gates of death.'
