The Book of Enoch


                  and of our glory.

                  63.8 And on the day of our affliction and distress he does not save us, and

                  we find no respite to make our confession that our Lord is faithful in all his

                  doings, and in all his judgments and his justice, and that his judgments


                  show no respect for persons.
                  63.9 And we pass away from in front of him because of all our works and


                  all our sins have been counted exactly.”
                  63.10 Then they will say to them:  “Our souls are sated with possessions


                  gained through iniquity, but they do not prevent our going down into the
                  flames of the torment of Sheol.”


                  63.11 And after this their faces will be filled with darkness and shame, in

                  front of that Son of Man, and they will be driven away from him.  And the

                  sword will dwell among them - in front of Him.

                  63.12 And thus says the Lord of Spirits:  “This is the Law and the

                  Judgment for the mighty, and the kings, and the exalted, and for those who

                  possess the dry ground, in front of the Lord of Spirits.”

                  64.1 And I saw other figures hidden in that place.

                  64.2 I heard the voice of the Angel saying:  “These are the Angels who

                  came down from Heaven onto the Earth and revealed what is secret to the

                  sons of men, and led astray the sons of men, so that they committed sin.”

                  68.2 And on that day the Holy Michael answered Raphael, saying:  “The

                  power of the spirit seizes me and makes me tremble because of the

                  harshness of the judgment of the Angels.  Who can endure the harshness of

                  the judgment which has been executed and before which they melt with

                  fear?”

                  68.3 And the Holy Michael answered Raphael again, and said to him:

                  “Who would not soften his heart over it, and whose mind would not be

                  disturbed by this word?  Judgment has gone out against them, upon those

                  whom they have led out like this.”




                                                                                                     81
