Plain text of Chapter Lxii
1 And thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted, and those who dwell on the earth, and said: "Open your eyes and lift up your horns if ye are able to recognize the Elect One."
2 And the Lord of Spirits made him a witness before the throne of His glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon him, and the word of the Lord of Spirits slays all the sinners, and all the unrighteous are destroyed from before Him.
3 And there shall stand up in that day all the kings and the mighty, and the exalted and those who hold the earth, and they shall see and recognize how righteousness is judged before the Lord of Spirits, and no lying word is spoken before Him.
4 Then shall pain come upon them as on a woman in travail, when her child enters the mouth of the womb, and she has pain in bringing forth.
5 And one portion of them shall look on the other, and they shall be terrified, and they shall be downcast of countenance, and pain shall seize them, when they see that Son of Man standing as a witness.
6 And the kings and the mighty and all who possess the earth shall bless and glorify and extol Him who rules over all, who is hidden.
7 For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden in the knowledge of the Most High, who preserved him in the presence of His might, and revealed him to the elect.
8 And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown, and all the elect shall stand before the Lord on that day.
9 And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth shall fall down before the Lord of Spirits on their faces, and worship and set their hope upon Him, and petition Him and supplicate for mercy at His hands.
10 Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them that they shall hastily go forth from His presence, and their faces shall be filled with shame, and the darkness grow deeper on their faces.
11 And He will deliver them to the angels for punishment, to execute vengeance on them because they have oppressed His children and His elect.
12 And they shall be a spectacle for the righteous and for His elect: they shall rejoice over them, because the wrath of the Lord of Spirits resteth upon them, and His sword is drunk with their blood.
13 And the righteous and elect shall be saved on that day, and they shall never thenceforward see the face of the sinners and unrighteous.
14 And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them, and they shall eat and lie down and rise up in the Garden for ever and ever.
15 And the righteous and elect shall have risen from the earth, and ceased to be of downcast countenance. And they shall have been clothed with garments of glory,
16 And these shall be the garments of life from the Lord of Spirits: and your garments shall not grow old, nor your glory pass away before the Lord of Spirits.
