For I myself
have never even thought of obtaining what I promised.
6 Therefore I fell, and I made you fall by that for
which I myself fell; and with you also, whosoever accepts
my counsel, falls thereby.
7 But now, O Adam, because you fell you are under my
rule, and I am king over you; because you have obeyed me
and have transgressed against your God. Neither will there
be any deliverance from my hands until the day promised you
by your God."
8 Again he said, "Because we do not know the day
agreed on with you by your God, nor the hour in which you
shall be delivered, for that reason we will multiply war
and murder on you and your descendants after you.
9 This is our will and our good pleasure, that we may
not leave one of the sons of men to inherit our orders in heaven.
10 For as to our home, O Adam, it is in burning fire;
and we will not stop our evil doing, no, not one day nor
one hour. And I, O Adam, shall set you on fire when you
come into the cave to live there."
11 When Adam heard these words he cried and mourned,
and said to Eve, "Hear what he said; that he won't fulfil
any of what he told you in the garden.
