All our sins are truly without number.
13 Then shall they say to themselves, Our souls are satiated with the instruments of crime;
14 But that prevents us not from descending to the flaming womb of hell.
15 Afterwards, their countenances shall be filled with darkness and confusion before the Son of man; from whose presence they shall be expelled, and before whom the sword shall remain to expel them.
16 Thus saith the Lord of spirits, This is the decree and the judgment against the princes, the kings, the exalted, and those who possess the earth, in the presence of the Lord of spirits.
CHAPTER 63
I saw also other countenances in that secret place. I heard the voice of an angel, saying, These are the angels who have descended from heaven to earth, and have revealed secrets to the sons of men, and have seduced the sons of men to the commission of sin.
CHAPTER 64 [122]
1 In those days Noah saw that the earth became inclined, and that destruction approached.
2 Then he lifted up his feet, and went to the ends of the earth, to the dwelling of his great-grandfather Enoch.
3 And Noah cried with a bitter voice, Hear me; hear me; hear me: three times. And he said, Tell me what is transacting upon earth; for the earth labours, and is violently shaken. Surely I shall perish with it.
4 After this there was a great perturbation on earth, and a voice was heard from heaven. I fell down on my face, when my great-grandfather Enoch came and stood by me.
5 He said to me, Why hast thou cried out to me with a bitter cry and lamentation?
6 A commandment has gone forth from the Lord against those who dwell on the earth, that they may be destroyed; for they know every secret of the angels, every oppressive and secret power of the devils [literally, “the Satans” (Laurence, p. 78)], and every power of those who commit sorcery, as well as of those who make molten images in the whole earth.
7 They know how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how on the earth the metallic drop exists; for lead and tin are not produced from earth, as the primary fountain of their production.
8 There is an angel standing upon it, and that angel struggles to prevail.
9 Afterwards my great-grandfather Enoch seized me with his hand, raising me up, and saying to me, Go, for I have asked the Lord of spirits respecting this perturbation of the earth; who replied, On account of their impiety have their innumerable judgments been consummated before me. Respecting the moons have they inquired, and they have known that the earth will perish with those who dwell upon it [or, “Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell upon it will be destroyed” (Knibb, p. 155)], and that to these there will be no place of refuge for ever.
10 They have discovered secrets, and they are those who have been judged; but not thou, my son. The Lord of spirits knows that thou art pure and good, free from the reproach of discovering secrets.
11 He, the holy One, will establish thy name in the midst of the saints, and will preserve thee from those who dwell upon the earth. He will establish thy seed in righteousness, with dominion and great glory [literally, “for kings, and for great glory” (Laurence, p. 79)]; and from thy seed shall spring forth righteous and holy men without number for ever.
CHAPTER 65
1 After this he showed me the angels of punishment, who were prepared to come, and to open all the mighty waters under the earth:
2 That they may be for judgment, and for the destruction of all those who remain and dwell upon the earth.
3 And the Lord of spirits commanded the angels who went forth, not to take up the men and preserve them.
4 For those angels presided over all the mighty waters. Then I went out from the presence of Enoch.
CHAPTER 66
1 In those days the word of God came to me, and said, Noah, behold, thy lot has ascended up to me, a lot void of crime, a lot beloved and upright.
