[1]Then I looked and turned myself to another part of the earth, where I beheld a deep valley burning with fire. [2]To this valley they brought monarchs and the mighty. [3]And there my eyes beheld the instruments which they were making, fetters of iron without weight.ⓘ [4]Then I inquired of the angel of peace, who proceeded with me, saying, For whom are these fetters and instruments prepared? [5]He replied, These are prepared for the host of Azazeel, that they may be delivered over and adjudged to the lowest condemnation; and that their angels may be overwhelmed with hurled stones, as the Lord of' spirits has commanded. [6]Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel shall be strengthened in that day, and shall then cast them into a furnace of blazing fire, that the Lord of spirits may be avenged of them for their crimes; because they became ministers of Satan, and seduced those who dwell upon earth. [7]In those days shall punishment go forth from the Lord of spirits; and the receptacles of water which are above the heavens shall be opened, and the fountains likewise, which are under the heavens and under the earth. [8]All the waters, which are in the heavens and above them, shall be mixed together. [9]The water which is above heaven shall be the agent;ⓘ [10]And the water which is under the earth shall be the recipientⓘ: and all shall be destroyed who dwell upon earth, and who dwell under the extremities of heaven. [11]By these means shall they understand the iniquity which they have committed on earth: and by these means shall they perish.
