The Book of Enoch


                  27.1 Then I said:  "What is the purpose of this blessed land, which is

                  completely full of trees, and of this accursed valley in the middle of them?"

                  27.2 Then Raphael, one of the Holy Angels who was with me, answered

                  me, and said to me:  "This accursed valley, is for those who are cursed for


                  ever.  Here will be gathered together all who speak with their mouths
                  against the Lord - words that are not fitting, and say hard things about His


                  Glory.  Here they will gather them together, and here will be their place of
                  judgment.


                  27.3 And in the last days there will be the spectacle of the righteous
                  judgment upon them, in front of the righteous, forever.  For here, the


                  merciful will bless the Lord of Glory the Eternal King.

                  27.4 And in the days of the judgment on them they will bless Him, on

                  account of his mercy, according as He has assigned to them their lot."

                  27.5 Then I myself blessed the Lord of Glory, I addressed Him, and I

                  remembered His majesty, as was fitting.

                  28.1 And from there, I went towards the east, to the middle of the mountain

                  of the wilderness, and I saw only desert.

                  28.2 But it was full of trees from this seed and water gushed out over it

                  from above.

                  28.3 The torrent, which flowed towards the northwest, seemed copious, and

                  from all sides, there went up spray and mist.

                  29.1 And I went to another place, away from the wilderness; I came near to

                  the east of this mountain.

                  29.2 And there I saw Trees of Judgment, especially vessels of the fragrance

                  of incense and myrrh, and the trees were not alike.

                  30.1 And above it, above these, above the mountains of the east, and not far

                  away, I saw another place, valleys of water, like that which does not fail.

                  30.2 And I saw a beautiful tree, and its fragrance was like that of the

                  mastic.
