16. All the eagles and vultures and ravens and kites
were gathered together, and there came with them all
the sheep of the field, yea, they all came together,
and helped each other to break that horn of the ram.
19. And I saw till a great sword was given to the sheep, and the sheep
proceeded against all the beasts of the field to slay them, and all the
beasts and the birds of the heaven fled before their face.
14. And I saw till that man, who wrote down the names of
the shepherds [and] carried up into the presence of the
Lord of the sheep [came and helped it and showed it
everything: he had come down for the help of that ram].
15. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came unto
them in wrath, and all who saw Him fled, and they
all fell †into His shadow† from before His face.
17. And I saw that man, who wrote the book according
to the command of the Lord, till he opened that book
concerning the destruction which those twelve last
shepherds had wrought, and showed that they had destroyed
much more than their predecessors, before the Lord of the
sheep.
18. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep came unto
them and took in His hand the staff of his wrath,
and smote the earth, and the earth clave asunder,
and all the beasts and all the birds of the heaven
fell from among those sheep, and were swallowed up
in the earth and it covered them.
XC. 20-27. _Judgement of the Fallen Angels, the Shepherds, and the
