27. When I looked up, I could no longer see the woman, but there was a city built on huge foundations. I was afraid and shouted,
28. “Where is the angel Uriel, who came to me earlier? It is his fault that I am so confused. My prayer is useless, and I have nothing to hope for but death.”
29. I was still speaking when the angel Uriel appeared again. He saw me
30. lying there unconscious like a corpse, so he took hold of my right-hand, gave me strength, and stood me on my feet. Then he asked,
31. “What's the matter? Why are you so disturbed and confused?”
32. I answered, “You abandoned me completely! I did as you told me and came out to this field, but I cannot explain what I am seeing.”
33. “Stand up straight,” he answered, “and I will explain it to you.”
34. “Sir,” I answered, “please explain it to me. I will die in my frustration if you leave me,
35. for I cannot understand what I have seen and heard.
36. Or is my mind playing tricks on me, and this is just a bad dream?
37. I beg you, sir, tell me what this vision means.”
38. The angel said, “Now listen closely, and I will explain the meaning of these things that you fear. God Most High has revealed many secrets to you
39. because he has seen that you have lived a righteous life and have always grieved and mourned for your people and for Jerusalem.
40. This is what the vision means: a woman appeared to you a little while ago,
41. and when you saw that she was mourning, you tried to console her.
42-43. The woman told you about the death of her son. Then she vanished from your sight, and a whole city appeared. This is the meaning:
44. the woman you saw is Jerusalem, which you now see as a completed city.
