¹ Then said I: ‘For what object is this blessed land, which is entirely filled with trees, and this accursed valley between?’

² Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered and said: ‘This accursed valley is for those who are accursed forever: Here will all the accursed be gathered together who utter with their lips against the Lord unseemly words and of His glory speak hard things. Here will they be gathered together, and here will be their place of judgment.

³ In the last days there will be upon them the spectacle of righteous judgment in the presence of the righteous forever: here will the merciful bless the Lord of glory, the Eternal King.

⁴ In the days of judgment over the former, they will bless Him for the mercy in accordance with which He has assigned them (their lot).’

⁵ Then I blessed the Lord of Glory and set forth His glory and lauded Him gloriously.
