I crossed the river and reached the plain, where I bent my knees and began to pray to the Lord and confess my sins.
2While I was praying, the heaven opened and I saw that woman I desired greeting me from heaven, saying: Hermas, hail!
3Looking at her, I asked: Lady, what are you doing here? She answered: I was taken up to heaven to accuse your sins before the Lord.
4I said: Now you accuse me? She said: No, but hear the words I will tell you. God, who dwells in the heavens and created what exists from nothing, is angry with you, because you sinned against me.
