The Second Heaven
1 And those men took me and led me up onto the second heaven, and showed me darkness, greater than earthly darkness, and there I saw prisoners hanging, watched, awaiting the great and boundless judgment, 2 and these angels were dark-looking, more than earthly darkness, and incessantly weeping through all hours, and I said to the men who were with me: 3 'Why are these incessantly tortured?' they answered me: 'These are God's apostates, who did not obey God's commands, but followed their own plans, and turned away with their prince, who is also fastened on the fifth heaven.' 4 And I felt great pity for them, and they greeted me, and said to me: 'Man of God, pray for us to the Lord'; 5 and I answered them: 'Who am I, a mortal man, that I should pray for angels? who knows where I am going, or what will happen to me? or who will pray for me?'
