My LORD’s BibleAscension of Isaiah 5
1On account of these visions, therefore, Beliar was wroth with Isaiah, and he dwelt in the heart of Manasseh and he sawed him in sunder with a wooden saw.
2And when Isaiah was being sawn in sunder Balchîrâ stood up, accusing him, and all the false prophets stood up, laughing and rejoicing because of Isaiah.
3And Balchîrâ, with the aid of Mechêmbêchûs, stood up before Isaiah, [laughing] deriding;
4And Balchîrâ said to Isaiah: 'Say: "I have lied in all that I have spoken, and likewise the ways of Manasseh are good and right.
5And the ways also of Balchîrâ and of his associates are good."'
6And this he said to him when he began to be sawn in sunder.
7But Isaiah was (absorbed) in a vision of the Lord, and though his eyes were open, he saw them (not).
8And Balchîrâ spake thus to Isaiah: 'Say what I say unto thee and I will turn their heart, and I will compel Manasseh and the princes of Judah and the people and all Jerusalem to reverence thee.
9And Isaiah answered and said: 'So far as I have utterance (I say): Damned and accursed be thou and all thy powers and all thy house.
10For thou canst not take (from me) aught save the skin of my body.'
11And they seized and sawed in sunder Isaiah, the son of Amoz, with a wooden saw.
12And Manasseh and Balchîrâ and the false prophets and the princes and the people [and] all stood looking on.
13And to the prophets who were with him he said before he had been sawn in sunder: 'Go ye to the region of Tyre and Sidon; for for me only hath God mingled the cup.'
14And when Isaiah was being sawn in sunder, he neither cried aloud nor wept, but his lips spake with the Holy Spirit until he was sawn in twain.
15This Beliar did to Isaiah through Balchîrâ and Manasseh; for Sammael was very wrathful against Isaiah from the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, on account of the things which he had seen regarding the Beloved,
16And on account of the destruction of Sammael, which he had seen through the Lord, while Hezekiah his father was still king. And he did according to the will of Satan. ===THE VISION WHICH ISAIAH THE SON OF AMOS SAW (Chapters 6-11)===
