on which the Great One is enthroned.

The angel ascended,

then they set up a throne for him, and he took his seat upon it.

I will tell you, O great ones,

I will tell you, O mighty ones, how it came to pass:

"If you do such things to me,

shall there be no lack in your vintage in the declining earth?

The age declined,

and persecution oppressed them very sorely."

"Sit there, angel,

ordered, well-ordered angel.

We know full well

that in our vintage in the declining earth a lack has come about.

The age declined,

and persecution was let loose very sorely against them.

You were redeemed and ascended, angel,

and whoever is able shall ascend after you."

The Living God is exalted and victorious,

and victorious is the man who has gone this way.
