The sound of the stillness of God 8 [is heard,] and there is a tumult of rejoicing when their wings lift up, the sound of the [stillness] of God. They bless the image of the chariot throne above the firmament of the cherubim, 9 [and] they sing of [the majesty of] the firmament of light from beneath the seat of his glory. And when the wheels move, the holy angels return. They go out from between 10 its glorious wheels. Like the appearance of fire are the most holy spirits all around, the appearance of streams of fire in the likeness of electrum. And there are works of 11 brightness, with glorious many-colored work, wonderful colors, purely blended. The spirits of the living God move about continually with the glory of the wonderful 12 chariots.

At the entrances of the gods of knowledge in the doorways of glory, and at all the goings out of the holy angels to their dominion, 9 the doorways of entrance and the gates of going out proclaim the glory of the King, blessing and praising all the spirits of 10 God when they go out and when they come in through the holy gates. And there is none among them who skips over a statute, and never against the words of 11 the King do they set themselves. They do not run from the way, and they do not linger outside his boundary. They are not too exalted for his missions, 12 and they are not too lowly. For he will show mercy in the dominion of the fury of his destroying [wrath]; he will not judge while his glorious anger abides. 13 The fear of the King of gods is fearsome to [all] the gods […] for all his missions in the order of his truth, and they go 14 … […] … […] … […] … …
