The Book of Enoch

1) THE BLESSING OF ENOCH

1.1 These are the words of the blessing of Enoch; according to which he

blessed the chosen and righteous who must be present on the day of

distress, which is appointed, for the removal of all the wicked and impious.
1.2 And Enoch began his story and said: -

There was a righteous man whose eyes were opened by the Lord, and he
saw a Holy vision in the Heavens, which the Angels showed to me. And I

heard everything from them, and I understood what I saw: but not for this
generation, but for a distant generation that will come.

1.3 Concerning the Chosen I spoke; and I uttered a parable concerning

them: The Holy and Great One will come out of his dwelling.

1.4 And the Eternal God will tread from there upon Mount Sinai, and he

will appear with his Host, and will appear in the strength of his power from

Heaven.

1.5 And all will be afraid, and the Watchers will shake, and fear and great

trembling will seize them, up to the ends of the earth.

1.6 And the high mountains will be shaken; and the high hills will be laid

low and will melt like wax in a flame.

1.7 And the earth will sink, and everything that is on the earth will be

destroyed, and there will be judgment upon all, and upon all the righteous.

1.8 But for the righteous: He will make peace, and He will keep safe the

Chosen, and mercy will be upon them. They will all belong to God, and

will prosper and be blessed, and the light of God will shine on them.

1.9 And behold! He comes with ten thousand Holy Ones; to execute

judgment upon them and to destroy the impious, and to contend with all

flesh concerning everything that the sinners and the impious have done and

wrought against Him.
