1

And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and
saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought
upon the earth.

2

And they said one to another, "The earth made without inhabitant cries the
voice of their cryingst up to the gates of heaven."

3

And now to you, the holy ones of heaven, the souls of men make their suit,
saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High."

4

And they said to the Lord of the ages, "Lord of lords, God of gods, King of
kings, and God of the ages, the throne of Thy glory standeth unto all the
generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the
ages! Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou, and all
things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing
can hide itself from Thee.

5

Thou seest what Azazel hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on
earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were in heaven, which men were
striving to learn; and Samlazaz, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule
over his associates.

6

And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept
with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of
sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been
filled with blood and unrighteousness.

7

And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying out making their
suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended and cannot
cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth.

8

And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these
things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do
to them in regard to these."

9

Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the
son of Lamech and said to him, "Go to Noah and tell him in my name 'Hide
thyself!' and reveal to him the end that is approaching, that the whole earth will
be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will
destroy all that is on it. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed
may be preserved for all the generations of the world."

10

And again the Lord said to Raphael, "Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast
him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael,
and cast him therein. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover
him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he
may not see light. And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the
fire.

11

And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing
of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may
not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have
taught their sons. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that
were taught by Azazel, to him ascribe all sin."

12

And to Gabriel said the Lord, "Proceed against the bastards and the
reprobates, and against the children of fornication and destroy the children of the
Watchers from amongst men. Send them one against the other that they may
destroy each other in battle, for length of days shall they not have. And no
request that they make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf;
for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five
hundred years."

13

And the Lord said unto Michael, "Go, bind Samlazaz and his associates who
have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them
in all their uncleanness. And when their sons have slain one another, and they
have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy
generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their
consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. In
those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire and to the torment and the
prison in which they shall be confined for ever.

14

And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be
bound together with them to the end of all generations. and destroy all the spirits
of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers because they have wronged
mankind.

15

Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to
an end, and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear, and it shall prove a
blessing; the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy
for evermore.

16

And then shall all the righteous escape and shall live till they beget thousands
of children, and all the days of their youth and their old age shall they complete
in peace.

17

And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be
planted with trees and be full of blessing.

18

And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it
and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for
all the seed which is sown thereon each measure shall bear a thousand, and each
measure of olives shall yield ten presses of oil.

19

And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness,
and from all sin, and from all godlessness, and all the uncleanness that is
wrought upon the earth destroy from off the earth.

20

And all the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations shall offer
adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be
cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and
from all torment, and I will never again send upon it from generation to
generation and for ever.

21

And in those days I will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the
heaven, so as to send them down upon the earth over the work and labour of the
children of men. And truth and peace shall be associated together throughout all
the days of the world and throughout all the generations of men."

22

Before these things Enoch was hidden, and no one of the children of men
knew where he was hidden, and where he abode, and what had become of him.
And his activities had to do with the Watchers, and his days were with the holy
ones.

23

And I Enoch was blessing the Lord of Majesty and the King of the ages, and
lo! the Watchers called me, Enoch the scribe, and said to me: "Enoch, thou scribe
of righteousness, go, declare to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the
high heaven, the holy eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women,
and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives.

24

Say to them: 'Ye have wrought great destruction on the earth and ye shall
have no peace nor forgiveness of sin.'

25

And inasmuch as they delight themselves in their children the murder of their
beloved ones shall they see, and over the destruction of their children shall they
lament, and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye
not attain."

26

And Enoch went and said: "Azazel, thou shalt have no peace, a severe
sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds and thou shalt not have
toleration nor request granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou
hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and
sin which thou hast shown to men."

27

Then I went and spoke to them all together, and they were all afraid, and fear
and trembling seized them. And they besought me to draw up a petition for them
that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petition in the presence of the
Lord of heaven.

28

For from thenceforward they could not speak with Him nor lift up their eyes
to heaven for shame of their sins for which they had been condemned.

29

Then I wrote out their petition, and the prayer in regard to their spirits and
their deeds individually and in regard to their requests that they should have
forgiveness and length.

30

And I went off and sat down at the waters of Dan, in the land of Dan, to the
south of the west of Hermon, I read their petition till I fell asleep.

31

And behold a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw
visions of chastisement, and a voice came bidding me to tell it to the sons of
heaven, and reprimand them.

32

And when I awaked, I came unto them, and they were all sitting gathered
together, weeping in Abelsjail, which is between Lebanon and Seneser, with
their faces covered.

33

And I recounted before them all the visions which I had seen in sleep, and I
began to speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly
Watchers.
