[1]In those days my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightnings and the splendours, and the judgment belonging to them. [2]They lighten for a blessing and for a curse, according to the will of the Lord of spirits. [3]And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, when it rattles above in heaven, and its sound is heard. [4]The habitations also of the earth were shown to me. The sound of the thunder is for peace and for blessing, as well as for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of spirits. [5]Afterwards every secret of the splendours and of the lightnings was seen by me. For blessing and for fertility they lighten.
