1And the angel said to me: “Know that from henceforth the Eternal One has chosen you.
2Be of good courage and use this authority so far as I bid you, against him who slanders the truth.
3Should I not be able to put him to shame who has scattered over the earth the secrets of heaven7,
4and has rebelled against the Mighty One8? Say to him: “Become the burning coal of the furnace of the earth!
5Go Azazel, into the inaccessible parts of the earth9, for your heritage is to be over those who are with you,
6the ones being born with the stars and clouds, and with the men whose portion you are10,
7even those who exist on account of your being, justification shall be your enemy.
8Now depart from me by your perdition!
9And I uttered the words that the angel taught me, then the angel said to me:
10“Answer him not! For GOD has given him power over those who answer him.”
11And the angel spoke to me again saying: “However much he speak to you, answer him not,
12in order that he may have no free access to your , because the ETERNAL One has given him strenght and power in this respect.”
13And I did that which was commanded me by the angel,
14and no matter how much he spoke to me, I didn’t answered him nothing.
