### The Purpose of the Accursed Valley

[¶1] 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 valley is for those who are accursed for ever: here shall all the accursed be gathered together who utter with their lips against the Lord unseemly words and of His glory speak hard things.

### Ethiopic version

[¶3] Here shall they be gathered together, and here shall be their place of judgement. 3 In the last days there shall be upon them the spectacle of righteous judgement in the presence of the righteous for ever: here shall the merciful bless the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King.

### Greek version (Gizeh papyrus)

[¶5] Here shall they be gathered together, and here shall be the place of their habitation. 3 In the last times, in the days of the true judgement in the presence of the righteous for ever: here shall the godly bless the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King.

[¶6] 4 In the days of judgement over the former, they shall 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.
