The Book of Enoch


                  stands opposite the other, in front of the Lord of Spirits, and they give

                  thanks, and sing praise, and do not rest, because their thanksgiving is like

                  rest to them.

                  41.8 For the shining Sun makes many revolutions; for a blessing and for a


                  curse.  And the path of the journey of the Moon is for the righteous light
                  but for the sinners; darkness.  In the Name of the Lord, who has created a


                  division between light and darkness, and has divided the spirits of men, and
                  has established the spirits of the righteous, in the name of His


                  Righteousness.
                  41.9 For no Angel hinders, and no power is able to hinder, because the


                  judge sees them all, and judges them all Himself.

                  42.1 Wisdom found no place where she could dwell, and her dwelling was

                  in Heaven.

                  42.2 Wisdom went out, in order to dwell among the sons of men, but did

                  not find a dwelling; wisdom returned to her place, and took her seat in the

                  midst of the Angels.

                  42.3 And iniquity came out from her chambers; those whom she did not

                  seek she found, and dwelt among them, like rain in the desert, and like dew

                  on the parched ground.

                  43.1 And again I saw flashes of lightning and the stars of Heaven, and I

                  saw how He called them all by their names, and they obeyed Him.

                  43.2 And I saw the Balance of Righteousness, how they are weighed

                  according to their light, according to the width of their areas, and the day of

                  their appearing.  And how their revolutions produce lightning, and I saw

                  their revolutions, according to the number of the Angels, and how they

                  keep faith with one another.
