¹And then came in like manner other angels weeping and bewailing, and saying with fear, Behold how we are overclouded,

²Lord, for we were delivered unto evil men, and we desire to depart from them. And Michael said, Ye cannot depart from them, lest the adversary prevail unto the end; but say unto me what ye ask. And they said, We pray thee, Michael our commander, transfer us from them, for we cannot abide with wicked and foolish men, for there is nothing good in them, but every manner of unrighteousness and covetousness. For we do not behold them entering into any good work. But where there is murder, there also are they in the midst; and where are fornications, adulteries, thefts, slanders, perjuries, jealousies, drunkenness, strife, envy, murmurings, whisperings, idolatry, divination, and such like, then are they workers of such works, and of others yet worse. Wherefore we entreat that we may depart from them. And Michael said unto the angels, Wait till I learn from the Lord what shall come to pass.
