29
As I was speaking these words, behold, the angel who had come to me at first came to me, and he looked upon me;
30
and behold, I lay there like a corpse and I was deprived of my understanding. Then he grasped my right hand and strengthened me and set me on my feet, and said to me,
31
"What is the matter with you? And why are you troubled? And why are your understanding and the thoughts of your mind troubled?"
32
I said, "Because you have forsaken me! I did as you directed, and went out into the field, and behold, I saw, and still see, what I am unable to explain."
33
He said to me, "Stand up like a man, and I will instruct you."
