  judge of all the earth, for all my children who shall dwell on the

• 1:29
  And now my son Methuselah called to me all thy brothers, and gathered
• 1:33
  together to me all the sons of thy mother. For the word calls me,
• 1:37
  and the spirit is poured out upon me, that I may show you
• 1:40
  everything that shall befall you forever. And thereupon methusliwens and summoned to him all
• 1:47
  his brothers, and assembled his relatives, and he spake unto all the children
• 1:52
  of righteousness, and said, hear, ye, sons of Enoch, all
• 1:55
  the words of your father. And hearken a right to the voice of my
• 1:59
  mouth. For I exhort you and say unto you, beloved, love uprightness,
• 2:04
  and walk therein, and draw not nigh to uprightness with a double heart,
• 2:08
  and associate not with those of a double heart, but walk in righteousness,
• 2:13
  my sons, and it shall guide you on good paths, and righteousness
• 2:16
  shall be your companion. For I know that violence must increase on the earth,
• 2:23
  and a great chastisement be executed on the earth, and all unrighteousness come
• 2:27
  to an end. Yea it shall be cut off from its roots, and
• 2:30
  its whole structure be destroyed, and unrighteousness shall again be consummated on the earth,
• 2:37
  and all the deeds of unrighteousness and of violence and transgression shall prevail in
• 2:43
  a twofold degree. And when sin and unrighteousness, and blasphemy and violence in
• 2:47
  all kinds of deeds increase, and apostasy and transgression and uncleanness increase, a
• 2:53
  great chastisement shall come from Heaven upon all these, and the Holy Lord will
• 3:00
  come forth with wrath and chastisement to execute judgment on earth. In those days,
• 3:06
  violence shall be cut off from its roots, and the roots of unrighteousness
• 3:09
  together with deceit, and they shall be destroyed from under heaven. And all
• 3:14
  the idols of the heathen shall be abandoned, and the temples burned with fire,
• 3:19
  and they shall remove them from the whole earth. And they, i
• 3:23
  e. The Heathen, shall be cast into the judgment of fire, and
• 3:25
  shall perish in wrath and in grievous judgment forever. And the righteous shall arise
• 3:31
  from their sleep, and wisdom shall arise and be given unto them. And
• 3:36
  after that the roots of unrighteousness shall be cut off, and the sinners shall
• 3:39
  be destroyed by the sword, shall be cut off from the blasphemers in every
• 3:44
  place, And those who plan violence and those who commit blasphemy shall perish by
• 3:47
  the sword. And now I tell you, my sons, and show you
• 3:52
  the pass of righteousness and the pass of violence. Yea, I will show
• 3:55
  them to you again, that you may know what will come to pass.
• 4:00
  Now hearken unto me, my sons, and walk in the paths of righteousness,
• 4:02
  and walk not in the paths of violence, For all who walk in
• 4:06
  the paths of unrighteousness shall perish forever. Chapter ninety three, Chapter ninety one,
• 4:13
  twelve through seventeen, The Apocalypse of weeks chapter ninety three, And after
• 4:18
  that Enoch both gave and began to recount from the books. And Enoch said,
• 4:24
  concerning the children of righteousness, and concerning the elect of the world,
• 4:28
  and concerning the plant of uprightness, I will speak these things, yea,
• 4:31
  I Enoch will declare them unto you, my sons, according to that which
• 4:36
  appeared to me in the heavenly vision, and which I have known through the
• 4:40
  word of the Holy Angels, and have learnt from the heavenly tablets, and
• 4:45
  Enoch began to recount from the books and said, I was born the seventh
• 4:48
  in the first week, while judgment and righteousness still endured, and after me
• 4:54
  there shall arise. In the second week great wickedness and deceit shall have sprung
• 4:59
  up, and in it there shall be the first end, and in it
• 5:03
  a man shall be saved. And after it is ended, unrighteousness shall grow
• 5:09
  up, and a law shall be made for the sinners. And after that,
• 5:13
  in the third week, at its close, a man shall be elected
• 5:15
  as the plant of righteous judgment, and his posterity shall become the plant of
• 5:20
  righteousness forevermore. And after that, in the fourth week, at its close,
• 5:26
  visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, and a law for
• 5:29
  all generations, and an enclosure shall be made for them. And after that
• 5:33
  in the fifth week, at its close, the House of Glory and Dominion
• 5:36
  shall be built forever. And after that, in the sixth week, all
• 5:41
  who live in it shall be blinded, and the hearts of all of them
• 5:45
  shall godlessly forsake wisdom, and in it a man shall ascend. And at
• 5:49
  its close the House of Dominion shall be burnt with fire, and the whole
• 5:54
  race of the Chosen Route shall be dispersed. And after that, in the
• 5:58
  seventh week shall any apostate generation arise, and many shall be its deeds,
• 6:02
  and all its steeds shall be apostate, and at its close shall be elected
• 6:08
  the elect righteous of the eternal Plant of Righteousness, to receive sevenfold instruction concerning
• 6:14
  all his creation. For who is there of all the children of men that
• 6:17
  is able to hear the voice of the Holy One without being troubled, and
• 6:21
  who can think his thoughts? And who is there that can behold all the
• 6:26
  works of heaven? And how should there be one who could behold the heaven?
• 6:30
  And who is there that could understand the things of heaven and see a
• 6:33
  soul or a spirit, and could tell thereof or ascend, and see all
• 6:38
  their ends, and think them or do like them. And who is there
• 6:42
  of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the
• 6:46
  earth, and to whom has been shown the measure of all of them?
• 6:49
  Or is there any one who could discern the length of the heaven, and
• 6:53
  how great is its height, and upon what it is founded? And how
• 6:57
  great is the number of the stars, And where all the luminaries rest chapter
• 7:01
  ninety one, Verses twelve through seventeen, the last three weeks Chapter ninety one.
• 7:08
  And after that there shall be another, the eighth week, that of
• 7:12
  righteousness, and a sword shall be given to it, that a righteous judgment
• 7:15
  may be executed on the oppressors, and sinners shall be delivered into the hands
• 7:20
  of the righteous, and at its close they shall acquire houses through their righteousness,
• 7:27
  and a house shall be built for the Great King and glory forevermore,
• 7:31
  and all mankind shall look to the path of uprightness. And after that,
• 7:35
  in the ninth week, the righteous judgment shall be revealed to the whole world,
• 7:40
  and all the works of the godless shall vanish from all the earth,
• 7:44
  and the world shall be written down for destruction. And after this in the
• 7:48
  tenth week, in the seventh part, there shall be the Great Eternal Judgment,
• 7:53
  in which He will execute vengeance amongst the angels, and the first heaven
• 7:58
  shall depart and pass away, and a new heaven shall appear, and all
• 8:03
  the powers of the heaven shall give sevenfold light. And after that there will
• 8:07
  be many weeks without number forever, and all shall be in goodness and righteousness,
• 8:13
  and sin shall no more be mentioned forever. Chapter ninety four, verses
• 8:18
  one through five Admonitions to the righteous, Chapter ninety four. And now I
• 8:24
  say unto you, my sons, love righteousness, and walk therein, For
• 8:28
  the paths of righteousness are worthy of acceptation. But the paths of unrighteousness shall
• 8:33
  suddenly be destroyed and vanish. And to certain men of a generation shall the
• 8:37
  paths of violence and of death be revealed, and they shall hold themselves afar
• 8:41
  from them, and shall not follow them. And now I say unto you,
• 8:46
  the righteous, walk not in the paths of wickedness, nor in the
• 8:50
  paths of death, and draw not nigh to them, lest you be destroyed.
• 8:54
  But see can choose for yourself's righteousness and an elect life and way in
• 9:00
  the paths of peace. And ye shall live and prosper. And hold fast
• 9:03
  my words in the thoughts of your hearts, and suffer them not to be
• 9:07
  effaced from your hearts. For I know that sinners will tempt men to evily
• 9:13
  entreat wisdom, so that no place may be found for her, and no
• 9:16
  manner of temptation may minish. Chapter ninety four, verses six through eleven woes
• 9:22
  for the sinners, woe to those who build unrighteousness and oppression and lay deceit
• 9:28
  as a foundation, for they shall be suddenly overthrown, and they shall have
• 9:33
  no peace. Woe to those who build their houses with sin, for from
• 9:37
  all their foundations shall they be overthrown, and by the sword shall they fall.
• 9:43
  And those who acquire gold and silver and judgment suddenly shall perish. Woe
• 9:48
  to you, ye rich, for ye have trusted in your riches, and
• 9:52
  from your riches shall ye depart, because you have not remembered the most high.
• 9:56
  In the days of your riches. Ye have committed blasphemy and unrighteousness,
• 10:01
  and have become ready for the day of slaughter, and the day of darkness,
• 10:05
  and the day of the Great judgment. Thus I speak and to clare
• 10:07
  unto you, He who hath created you will overthrow you, And for your
• 10:13
  fall there shall be no compassion, and your creator will rejoice at your destruction.
• 10:18
  And your righteous ones in those days shall be a reproach to the sinners
• 10:22
  and the godless. Chapter ninety five Enox Grief fresh woes against the sinners.
• 10:30
  Chapter ninety five, Oh that mine eyes were a cloud of waters, that
• 10:35
  I might weep over you and pour down my tears as a cloud of waters,
• 10:39
  that so I might rest from my trouble of heart, who has permitted
• 10:43
  you to practice reproaches and wickedness, And so judgment shall overtake you sinners.
• 10:50
  Fear not the sinners, ye Righteous, For again will the Lord deliver them
• 10:54
  into your hands, that ye may execute judgment upon them according to your desire.
• 11:01
  Woe to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed. Healing shall therefore
• 11:07
  be far from you because of your sins. Woe to you who requite your
• 11:11
  neighbor with evil, for you shall be requited according to your works. Woe
• 11:16
  to you lying witnesses, and to those who weigh out injustice, for suddenly
• 11:22
  shall you perish. Woe to you sinners, for you persecute the righteous,
• 11:26
  For you shall be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, and heavy shall
• 11:31
  its yoke be upon you. Chapter ninety six Grounds of hopefulness for the righteous,
• 11:37
  woes for the wicked. Chapter ninety six. Be hopeful, ye righteous,
• 11:43
  For suddenly shall the sinners perish before you, and ye shall have lordship
• 11:48
  over them according to your desires. And in the day of the turbulation of
• 11:52
  the sinners. Your children shall mount and rise as eagles, and higher than
• 11:56
  the vultures will be your nest, and you shall ascend an and enter the
• 12:00
  crevices of the earth and the clefts of the rock, forever as conies before
• 12:03
  the unrighteous, and the sirens shall sigh because of you and weep. Wherefore,
• 12:09
  fear not, ye that have suffered, For healing shall be your portion,
• 12:13
  and a bright light shall enlighten you, and the voice of rest ye
• 12:16
  shall hear from heaven. Woe unto you, ye sinners, for your riches
• 12:22
  make you appear like the righteous. But your hearts convict you of being sinners.
• 12:26
  And this fact shall be a testimony against you, for a memorial of
• 12:30
  your evil deeds. Woe to you who devour the finest of the wheat,
• 12:33
  and drink wine in large bowls, and tread underfoot the lowly with your might.
• 12:39
  Woe to you who drink water from every fountain, For suddenly shall ye
• 12:43
  be consumed and wither away, because ye have forsaken the fountain of life.
• 12:48
  Woe to you who work on righteousness and deceit and blasphemy. It shall be
• 12:54
  a memorial against you for evil. Woe to you ye Mighty, who with
• 12:58
  might oppress the righteous, For the day of your destruction is coming. In
• 13:01
  those days, Many and good days shall come to the righteous in the day
• 13:07
  of your judgment Chapter ninety seven. The evils in store for sinners and the
• 13:11
  possessors of unrighteous wealth Chapter ninety seven. Believe, ye, Righteous, that
• 13:16
  the sinners will become a shame and perish in the day of unrighteousness. Be
• 13:22
  it known unto you, ye sinners, that the Most High is mindful of
• 13:26
  your destruction, and the angels of Heaven rejoice over your destruction. What will
• 13:31
  ye do, ye sinners, And whither will ye flee on that day of
• 13:35
  judgment? When ye hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous, yea
• 13:39
  ye shall fair like unto them against whom this word shall be a testimony.
• 13:43
  Ye have been companions of sinners. And in those days the prayer of the
• 13:48
  Righteous shall reach unto the Lord and for you. The days of your judgment
• 13:52
  shall come, and all the words of your unrighteousness shall be read out before
• 13:56
  the Great Holy One, and your faces shall be covered with shame, and
• 14:01
  he will reject every work which has grounded on unrighteousness. Woe to you,
• 14:05
  ye sinners who live on the mid ocean and on the dry land, whose
• 14:11
  remembrance is evil against you. Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in
• 14:16
  unrighteousness, And say, we have become rich with riches and half possessions,
• 14:20
  and have acquired everything we have desired. And now let us do what we
• 14:24
  proposed. For we have gathered silver, and many are the husbandmen in our
• 14:28
  houses, and our granaries are brim full as with water. YEA, in
• 14:35
  like water, your lies shall flow away. For your riches shall not abide,
• 14:39
  but speedily ascend from you, for you have acquired it all in unrighteousness,
• 14:43
  And ye shall be given over to a great curse. And of Section fifteen
