1. Then addressing me, He spoke and said Hear, neither be afraid,
O righteous ENOCH, thou scribe of righteousness: approach hither,
and hear my voice. Go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent
thee to pray for them, You ought to pray for men, and not men for you.
2. Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, which endures
for ever, and have lain with women; have defiled yourselves with the
daughters of men ; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like
the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring?
3. You being spirituel, holy, and possessing a life which is eternal,
have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood;
have lusted in the blood of men; and have done as those who are flesh
and blood do.
4. These however die and perish.
5. Therefore have I given to them wives, that they might cohabit with
them; that sons might be born of them; and that this might be
transacted upon earth.
6. But you from the beginning were made spiritual, possessing a life
which is eternal, and not subject to death for ever.
7. Therefore I made not wives for you, because, being spiritual, your
dwelling is in heaven.
8. Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall
be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their
habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh; because
they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their
beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon
earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The
habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but
upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who
are born on earth.
9. The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, which shall
oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon earth.
10. They shall cause lamentations, No food shall they eat; and they
shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not rise up
against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth
during the days of slaughter and destruction.
CHAP 16
1. And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits
depart from their bodies , let their flesh, that which is perishable,
be without judgement. Thus shall they perish, until the day of the
great consummation of the great world. A destruction shall take
place of the Watchers and the impious.
2. And now to the Watchers, who have sent thee to pray for them, who
in the beginning were in heaven,
3. Say, In heaven have you been; secret things, however, have not
been manifested to you; yet have you known a reprobated mystery.
4. And this you have related to women in the hardness of your heart,
and by that mystery have women and mankind multiplied evils upon
the earth.
5. Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace.
