And there is no count of time, neither weeks nor months nor years, for all our day is one day.
2In our caves lie the leaves of trees, and this is our couch under the trees.
3But we are not naked of body, as ye wrongly imagine, for we have the garment of immortality and are not ashamed of each other.
4At the sixth hour of every day we eat, for the fruit of the tree falls of itself at the sixth hour, and we eat and drink our fill, and again the water sinks into its place.
5We also know you who are there in the world, and who are in sins, and your works, for every day the angels of the Lord come and tell them to us, and the number of your years.
6But we pray for you to the Lord, because we also are of you and of your race, except that God has chosen us, and has set us in this place without sin.
7And the angels of God dwell with us every day, and tell us all things concerning you, and we rejoice with the angels over the works of the just, but over the works of sinners we mourn and lament, praying to the Lord that he may cease from his anger and spare your offences.
