1He said to me, Oh Enoch, look on the book which heaven has dropped down, and read that which is written therein, and understand every part.
2Then I looked on that which dropped from heaven, and read all that was written, and under stood all, and read the book, and all which was written therein, and all the works of men,
3And of all the children of flesh upon earth during the regeneration of the world.
4Immediately after I praised the Lord, the King of glory, who has thus made the whole work of the world.
5And I glorified the Lord, on account of his patience and blessing towards the children of the world.
6I said at that time, Blessed is the man who shall die righteous and good, against whom a record of wickedness has not been written, and with whom a crime is not found.
7Then these three holy ones brought me near, and set me on the earth before the door of my house.
8And they said unto me, Explain every thing to Mathusala thy son, and inform all thy children that what is flesh shall not be justified before the Lord, for he is their Creator.
9We will leave thee for one year with thy children, until thou again art strong, that thou mayest teach thy children, write for them, and explain all to thy children; but in another year they will take thee from the midst of them, and thy heart shall be strengthened, for the good shall declare righteousness to the good, the righteous shall rejoice with the righteous, and profess among one another, but sinners with sinners shall die.
10And the perverted with the perverted shall be drowned.
11And those who act righteously shall die by reason of the works of men, and shall be gathered together by reason of the works of the ungodly.
12In those days they ceased to converse with me.
13And I came to my fellow men, while I praised the Lord of worlds.
