¹ And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back, and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep,

⁹ And I say, `What `are' these, my lord?' And the messenger who is speaking with me saith unto me, `I -- I do shew thee what these `are'.'

¹⁸ And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to stand on my station,

²⁶ On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.

¹⁹ And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What `are' these?' And he saith unto me, `These `are' the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.'

⁵ And he lieth down and sleepeth under a certain retem-tree, and lo, a messenger cometh against him, and saith to him, `Rise, eat;'

⁶ and he looketh attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake `baken on' burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eateth, and drinketh, and turneth, and lieth down.

⁷ And the messenger of Jehovah turneth back a second time, and cometh against him, and saith, `Rise, eat, for the way is too great for thee;'

⁴⁵ And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow,

⁴⁶ and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray that ye may not enter into temptation.'

³² but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.

⁶ and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying:

⁷ `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk, And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to thee conductors among these standing by.

³ And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,

¹³ And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with me, good words, comfortable words.

⁸ and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power.

⁹ `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face `is' to the earth;

¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.
