2In those days the holy ones who dwell in the heights of heaven shall unite with one voice, and they shall plead and pray and praise and give thanks and bless the name of the Lord of Spirits, on account of the blood of the righteous that has been poured out, and that the prayer of the righteous may not be in vain before the Lord of Spirits, that judgment may be executed for them, and that patience may not be theirs forever.
