'their judgement'): and they lighten for a blessing or a curse as the Lord of Spirits willeth. 2 And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, and how when it resounds above in the heaven, the sound thereof is heard, and he caused me to see the judgements executed on the earth, whether they be for well-being and blessing, or for a curse according to the word of the Lord of Spirits. 3 And after that all the secrets of the lights and lightnings were shown to me, and they lighten for blessing and for satisfying.] LX.

Text. R. H. Charles, 1917. Translated for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and public domain by age. Double brackets mark words Charles restored by conjecture and a dagger marks a reading he judged corrupt. Verse numbers follow the marginal numbering of that printing and sometimes fall mid-sentence. The text was digitised by optical character recognition, so scattered typographic artifacts survive.
