And I said to the angel: I wished to see the souls of the just and of sinners going out of the world.
2And the angel answered and said unto me: Look down upon the earth.
3And I looked down from heaven upon the earth, and saw the whole world, and it was nothing in my sight and I saw the sons of men as though they were naught, and a-wanting, and I wondered and said to the angel: Is this the greatness of men?
4And the angel answered and said unto me: It is, and these are they who do evil from morning till evening.
5And I looked and saw a great cloud of fire spread over the whole world, and I said to the angel: What is this, my Lord? and he said to me: This is injustice stirred up by the princes of sinners.
