1And again, he took me up into the air of the sixth heaven, and I saw a splendor such as I had not seen in the five heavens as I went up; 2the angels possessed great glory, 3and the praise there was holy and wonderful.
4And I said to the angel who led me, "What (is) this which I see, my lord?"
5And he said to me, "I am not your lord, but your companion."
6And again I asked him, and I said to him, "Why (are there) not corresponding groups of angels?"
7And he said to me, "From the sixth heaven and upwards there are no longer those on the left, nor is there a throne placed in the middle, but [they are directed] by the power of the seventh heaven, where the One who is not named dwells, and his Chosen One, whose name is unknown, and no heaven can learn his name; 8for he is alone, (he) whose voice all the heavens and thrones answer. I, therefore, have been empowered and sent to bring you up here that you may see this glory, 9and (that) you may see the Lord of all these heavens and of these thrones 10being transformed until he resembles your appearance and your likeness.
11But I say to you, Isaiah, that no man who has to return into a body of that world [has come up, or seen], or understood what you have seen 12and what you are to see, for you are destined in the lot of the LORD, the lot of the tree, to come here, and from there is the power of the sixth heaven and of the air."
13And I proclaimed the greatness of my Lord with praise, that through his lot I should come here.
14And he said to me, "Hear then this also from your companion: [when from the body by the will of God you have come up here], then you will receive the robe which you will see, and also other numbered robes placed (there) you will see, 15and then you will be equal to the angels who (are) in the seventh heaven."
16And he took me up into the sixth heaven, and there were none on the left, nor a throne in the middle, but all (were) of one appearance, and their praise (was) equal.
17And (strength) was given to me, and I also sang praises with them, and that angel also, and our praise was like theirs.
18And there they all named the primal Father and his Beloved, Christ, and the Holy Spirit, all with one voice, 19but it was not like the voice of the angels who (were) in the five heavens, 20nor (was it) like their speech, but there was a different voice there, and there was much light there.
21And then, when I was in the sixth heaven, I thought that light which I had seen in the five heavens darkness.
22And I rejoiced and praised the One who has graciously given such light to those who await his promise.
23And I entreated the angel who led me that from then on I should not return to the world of flesh.
24Indeed I say to you, Hezekiah and Josab, my son, and Micah, that there is much darkness here.
25And the angel who led me knew what I thought and said to me, "If you rejoice over this light, how much more (will you rejoice) in the seventh heaven when you see the light where the Lord is and his Beloved—from where I was sent—who is to be called in the world the Son!
26He who is to be in the corruptible world has not (yet) been revealed, nor the robes, nor the thrones, nor the crowns which are placed (there) for the righteous, for those who believe in that Low who will descend in your form. For the light which (is) there (is) great and wonderful.
27But as regards your not returning into the body, your days are not yet complete for coming here."
28And when I heard (this), I was sad; and he said to me, "Do not be sad."
