1

Angels took and brought me to a place in which those who were there were
like flaming fire, and when they wished, they appeared as men.

2

And they brought me to the place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of
whose summit reached to heaven.

3

And I saw the places of the luminaries and the treasuries of the stars and of the
thunder and in the uttermost depths, where were a fiery bow and arrows and
their quiver, and a fiery sword and all the lightnings.

4

And they took me to the living waters, and to the fire of the west, which
receives every setting of the sun.

5

And I came to a river of fire in which the fire flows like water and discharges
itself into the great sea towards the west.

6

I saw the great rivers and came to the great river and to the great darkness, and
went to the place where no flesh walks. I saw the mountains of the darkness of
winter and the place whence all the waters of the deep flow.

7

I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and the mouth of the deep.

8

I saw the treasuries of all the winds, I saw how He had furnished with them the
whole creation and the firm foundations of the earth.

9

And I saw the corner−stone of the earth, I saw the four winds which bear the
firmament of the heaven.

10

And I saw how the winds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their
station between heaven and earth: these are the pillars of the heaven.

11

I saw the winds of heaven which turn and bring the circumference of the sun
and all the stars to their setting.

12

I saw the winds on the earth carrying the clouds: I saw the paths of the angels.

13

I saw at the end of the earth the firmament of the heaven above and I
proceeded and saw a place which burns day and night, where there are seven
mountains of magnificent stones.

14

Three towards the east, and three towards the south. And as for those towards
the east, was of coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those
towards the south of red stone.

15

But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and
the summit of the throne was of sapphire.

16

And I saw a flaming fire. And beyond these mountains is a region the end of
the great earth: there the heavens were completed.

17

And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I
saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards the height
and towards the depth.

18

And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven
above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and
no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.

19

I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains, and to me, when I
inquired regarding them. The angel said: "This place is the end of heaven and
earth. This has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven.

20

And the stars which roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the
commandment of the Lord in the beginning of their rising, because they did not
come forth at their appointed times.

21

And He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt
should be consummated for ten thousand years."

22

And Uriel said to me: "Here shall stand the angels who have connected
themselves with women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are
defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods.

23

Here shall they stand, till the day of the great judgement in which they shall
be judged till they are made an end of. And the women also of the angels who
went astray shall become sirens."

24

And I, Enoch, alone saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall
see as I have seen
