1. Then I came upon a place
where events became chaotic.
2 There I saw something
that was devastating.
I saw neither heaven
nor the earth as a foundation.
3 It was chaotic and devastating.
And there I saw
seven heavenly stars
gathered around it.
4. They were giant pinnacles
and they burned with flames.
5. Then I asked them
what wrong are they suffering from
and why were they thrown in here?
The holy angel Uriel
who was with me at the time
and governed over them, responded.
6. He asked me why I asked
and why was I so eager to know?
7. He told me that this
is the count of stars in the heavens
that have ignored God’s instructions
and will thus be bound
to this world for ten thousand years
until their consequences are met.
7. From there I traveled
to yet another place
that was more wicked than the previous
and I saw an awful thing:
8. I saw a large fire there
that burned and blazed
with a breach spanning an abyss
crowded with giant columns of fire
with a magnitude I could not determine
nor could I guess it.
9. Then I said I was afraid
of the terrible vision here.
And Uriel responded to me
and told me that a holy angel was with me
and asked why I was so afraid
of what I saw?
10. Then I answered and told him
that it was a fearful place
and a spectacle of pain.
Then he told me that this place
was the prison of souls
and here they will be in prison
throughout their physical lives.
