The book of Enoch
Chapter 1
1. The words of the blessing
of Enoch, wherewith he
blessed the elect and
righteous, who will be living
in the day of tribulation,
when all the wicked and
godless are to be
removed. 2. And he took up
his parable and said--Enoch
a righteous man, whose eyes
were opened by God, saw
the vision of the Holy One in
the heavens, which the
angels showed me, and from
them I heard everything, and
from them I understood as I
saw, but not for this
generation, but for a remote
one which is for to come. 3.
Concerning the elect I said,
and took up my parable
concerning them:
The Holy Great One will come
forth from His dwelling,
4. And the eternal God will
tread upon the earth, (even)
on Mount Sinai,
And appear from His camp
And appear in the strength
of His might from the heaven
of heavens.
5. And all shall be smitten
with fear
And the Watchers shall
quake,
And great fear and trembling
shall seize them unto the
ends of the earth.
6. And the high mountains
shall be shaken,
And the high hills shall be
made low,
And shall melt like wax
before the flame
7. And the earth shall be
wholly rent in sunder,
And all that is upon the earth
shall perish,
And there shall be a
judgement upon all (men).
8. But with the righteous He
will make peace.
And will protect the elect,
And mercy shall be upon
them.
And they shall all belong to
God,
And they shall be prospered,
And they shall all be
blessed.
And He will help them all,
And light shall appear unto
them,
And He will make peace with
them.
9. And behold! He cometh with
ten thousands of His holy
ones
To execute judgement upon
all,
And to destroy all the
ungodly:
And to convict all flesh
Of all the works of their
ungodliness which they
have ungodly committed,
And of all the hard things
which ungodly sinners have
spoken against Him.
