48 And behold, O Lord, in them there is no light; Whither shall we steer?

49 And also we shall perish, for in them we cannot breathe, save it is the air which is in them; Therefore, we shall perish."

50 And the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: "Behold, thou shalt make a hole in the top thereof, and also in the bottom thereof, And when thou shalt suffer for air, thou shalt unstop the hole thereof and receive air;

51 And if it so be that the water come in upon thee, Behold, ye shall stop the hole thereof, that ye may not perish in the flood."

52 And it came to pass that the brother of Jared did so, according as the Lord had commanded.

53 And he cried again unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, behold, I have done even as Thou hast commanded me, And I have prepared the vessels for my people, And behold, there is no light in them;

54 Behold, O Lord, wilt Thou suffer that we shall cross this great water in darkness?"

55 And the Lord said unto the brother of Jared: "What will ye that I should do that ye may have light in your vessels?

56 For behold, ye cannot have windows, for they will be dashed in pieces, Neither shall ye take fire with you, for ye shall not go by the light of fire; For behold, ye shall be as a whale in the midst of the sea, for the mountain waves shall dash upon you.

57 "Nevertheless, I will bring you up again out of the depths of the sea, For the winds have gone forth out of My mouth, and also the rains and the floods have I sent forth;

58 And behold, I prepare you against these things; For howbeit, ye cannot cross this great deep, save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds which have gone forth, and the floods which shall come;
