Another book which Enoch wrote for his son Methuselah and for those who will come after him, and keep the law in the last days.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

Another book that Enoch wrote for his son Methuselah, and for those who come after him, and keep the law in the last days.

Ye who have done good shall wait for those days till an end is made of those who work evil; and an end of the might of the transgressors.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

Ye who kept it, and now wait in those days till those who did evil are completed, and the power of the transgressors has been completed, 3. wait till sin disappears, for their names will be erased from the books of the holy ones, and their seed will be destroyed to eternity, and their spirits will be killed, and they will cry and lament in a void, empty place, and burn in a fire where there is no end.

And wait ye indeed till sin has passed away, for their names shall be blotted out of the book of life^a and out of the holy books, and their seed shall be destroyed for ever, and their spirits shall be slain, and they shall cry and make lamentation in a place that is a chaotic wilderness, and in the fire shall they burn; for there is no earth there.

And I saw there something like an invisible cloud; for by reason of its depth I could not look over, and I saw a flame of fire blazing brightly, and things like shining mountains circling and sweeping to and fro.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And there I saw something like a cloud which could not be seen, for from its depths I could not look over it ; and I saw a flame of fire burning l)rightly, and there circled things like shining mountains, and they shook to and fro.

And I asked one of the holy angels who was with me and said unto him: 'What is this shining thing? for it is not a heaven but only the flame of a blazing fire^a, and the voice of weeping and crying and lamentation and strong pain.'

And he said unto me: 'This place which thou seest--here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and of those who pervert everything that the Lord hath spoken through the mouth of the prophets--(even) the things that shall be.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And he said to me : '' This place which thou seest — here are brought the souls of the sinners and of the revilers and of those who do evil and change everything that God speaks through the mouth of the prophets concerning things to take place.

For some of them are written and inscribed above in the heaven, in order that the angels may read them and know that which shall befall the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been recompensed by God; and of those who have been put to shame by wicked men:

(not present in Laurence 1821)

For some of these have been written down, and noted above in heaven, that the angels may read and know what will happen to the sinners and to the spirits of the humble who have chastised their bodies, and/or that receive their reward from God, and of those who are reviled by wicked men ; 8. who loved God, and did not love gold or silver or all the riches of the world, but gave over their bodies to torture ; 9. and who, since they existed, did not long for THE BOOK OF ENOCH. 277 terrestrial food, but considered themselves a breath that passes away, and lived accordingly, and were often tried by God, and their spirits were found in cleanness to praise his name.

Who love God and loved neither gold nor silver nor any of the good things which are in the world, but gave over their bodies to torture.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

(not present in Schodde 1882)

Who, since they came into being, longed not after earthly food, but regarded everything as a passing breath, and lived accordingly, and the Lord tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His name.

(not present in Schodde 1882)

And all the blessings destined for them I have recounted in the books. And he hath assigned them their recompense, because they have been found to be such as loved heaven more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they blessed Me.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

All the blessings they received I have marked down in the books ; and he has destined . for them their wages, because they have been shown as those who loved the everlasting heaven more than their life, and while they were trodden down by wicked men, and heard abuse and reviling from them, praised me."

And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not recompensed with such honour as their faithfulness deserved.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And now I will call to the spirits of the good, from the generation of light, and change those who were born in darkness, who have not been rewarded in their bodies with honor, as was meet for their fidelity.

And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honour.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And I will lead out in a shining light those who love my holy name, and will set each one on the throne of honor, of his honor.

And they shall be resplendent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgement of God; for to the faithful He will give faithfulness in the habitation of upright paths.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And they will glitter in times without number, for justice is the judgment of God, for he will give fidelity to the faithful in the dwellings of the paths of rectitude.

And they shall see those who were, born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall be resplendent.

(not present in Laurence 1821)

And they will see how those who were born in darkness will be cast into darkness, while the just will glitter.

And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them resplendent, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are prescribed for them.'
