IX. And the king said to us, Ye

‹ Section 8 Section 10 ›

have

done

well

.

Now

therefore

mingle

with

my

people

,

and

eat

bread

and

drink

wine

,

and

glorify

your

Lord

,

and

ye

shall

be

serving

God

and

the

king

.

But

we

said

,

We

will

not

disobey

God

.

Then

the

king

was

enraged

and

set

us

in

prison

,

and

we

passed

that

night

there

.

And

behold

a

light

shone

in

the

building

,

and

an

angel

uncovered

the

prison

and

laid

hold

of

the

crowns

of

our

heads

,

and

took

us

out

of

the

prison

,

and

set

us

beside

the

water

of

the

river

,

and

said

to

us

,

Whithersoever

the

water

goes

,

go

ye

also

.

And

we

travelled

with

the

water

and

with

the

angel

.

When

therefore

he

had

brought

us

to

this

place

,

the

river

was

dried

up

and

the

water

was

swallowed

up

by

the

abyss

,

and

he

made

a

wall

round

this

country

,

and

there

came

a

wall

of

cloud

,

and

shadowed

above

the

water

;

and

he

did

not

scatter

us

over

all

the

earth

,

but

gave

to

us

this

country

.
