113. Again they began to build as before, and raised up that tower,
which was called a lofty tower.
114. And again they began to place before the tower a table, with every
impure and unclean kind of bread upon it.
115. Moreover also all the sheep were blind, and could not see; as were
the shepherds likewise.
116. Thus were they delivered up to the shepherds for a great
destruction, who trod them under foot, and devoured them.
117. Yet was their Lord silent, until all the sheep in the field were
destroyed. The shepherds and the sheep were all mixed together; but they
did not save them from the power of the beasts.
118. Then he who wrote the book ascended, exhibited it, and read it at
the residence of the Lord of the sheep. He petitioned him for them, and
prayed, pointing out every act of the shepherds, and testifying before
him against them all. Then taking the book, he deposited it with him,
and departed.
