But grieve not over them, nor
repent of that which has come over them.
17 But when I heard this, I was sorry; and my heart
could not patiently bear it for your sake, O my child.
18 But, O Adam, when I heard the name of Satan, I was afraid,
and I said within myself, I will not come out because he might
trap me as he did my children, Adam and Eve.
19 And I said, 'O God, when I go to my children,
Satan will meet me in the way, and war against me,
as he did against them.'
20 Then God said to me, 'Fear not; when you find him,
hit him with the staff that is in thine hand, and don't be
afraid of him, for you are of old standing, and he shall
not prevail against you.'
21 Then I said, 'O my Lord, I am old, and cannot go.
Send Your angels to bring them.'
22 But God said to me, 'Angels, verily, are not like
them; and they will not consent to come with them. But I
have chosen you, because they are your offspring and are
like you, and they will listen to what you say.'
23 God said further to me, 'If you don't have enough
strength to walk, I will send a cloud to carry you and set
you down at the entrance of their cave; then the cloud will
return and leave you there.
