Footnote 17:
It is a great pity that one system of chapter-enumeration runs through
the whole volume; if each separate book began with chap. i. it would
be much better. For obvious reasons this cannot be done here; see
Editors’ General Preface.

THE BOOK OF ENOCH
I-XXXVI.
I-V. _Parable of Enoch on the Future Lot of the Wicked and the
Righteous._
I. 1. The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect
〚and〛 righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all
the wicked 〚and godless〛 are to be removed. 2. And he took up his
parable and said—Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God,
saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, 〚which〛 the angels showed
me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I
saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to
come. 3. Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning
them:
The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling,
4. And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount
Sinai,
[And appear from His camp]
And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven ⌜of
heavens⌝.
5. And all shall be smitten with fear,
And the Watchers shall quake,
And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of
the earth.
6. And the high mountains shall be shaken,
And the high hills shall be made low,
And shall melt like wax before the flame
7. And the earth shall be ⌜wholly⌝ rent in sunder,
And all that is upon the earth shall perish,
And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).
8. But with the righteous He will make peace,
And will protect the elect,
And mercy shall be upon them.
And they shall all belong to God,
And they shall be prospered,
And they shall ⌜all⌝ be blessed.
⌜And He will help them all⌝,
And light shall appear unto them,
⌜And He will make peace with them⌝.
9. And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of ⌜His⌝ holy ones
To execute judgement upon all,
And to destroy ⌜all⌝ the ungodly:
And to convict all flesh
Of all the works ⌜of their ungodliness⌝ which they have ungodly
committed,
⌜And of all the hard things which⌝ ungodly sinners ⌜have spoken⌝
against Him.
