LXVIII. 1. And after that my grandfather Enoch gave me the teaching of
all the secrets in the book and in the Parables which had been given to
him; and he put them together for me in the words of the book of the
Parables. 2. And on that day Michael answered Raphael and said: ‘The
power of the spirit transports and =makes me to tremble= because of the
severity of the judgement of the secrets, the judgement of the angels:
who can endure the severe judgement which has been executed, and before
which they melt away?’ 3. And Michael answered again, and said to
Raphael: ‘Who is he whose heart is not softened concerning it, and whose
reins are not troubled by this word of judgement (that) has gone forth
upon them because of those who have thus led them out?’ 4. And it came
to pass when he stood before the Lord of Spirits, Michael said thus to
Raphael: ‘I will not take their part under the eye of the Lord; for the
Lord of Spirits has been angry with them because they do as if they were
the Lord. 5. Therefore all that is hidden shall come upon them for ever
and ever; for neither angel nor man shall have his portion (in it), but
alone they have received their judgement for ever and ever.’

tremble= because they have shown this to those who dwell on the earth.

Dânjâl, the eighth †Nêqâêl†, the ninth Barâqêl, the tenth Azâzêl, the

the seventeenth Jetrêl, the eighteenth Tûmâêl, the nineteenth Tûrêl, the
twentieth †Rûmâêl†, the twenty-first †Azâzêl†. 3. And these are the
chiefs of their angels and their names, and their chief ones over
hundreds and over fifties and over tens.]
