Book of Enoch 12

Ethiopic

Before all these things Enoch was concealed, but none of the sons of men knew where he was concealed, where he had been and what had been done.

2He was entirely employed with the holy ones, and with the watchers in his days.

3I, Enoch, praised the great Lord and King of peace.

4And behold the watchers called me Enoch the scribe.

5Then the Lord said to me, Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go, and declare to the watchers of heaven, who have forsaken the exalted heaven, and their everlasting mansion, and have defiled them selves with women;

6And have done actions like the sons of men by taking to themselves wives, and they have been greatly polluted on the earth;

7That on the earth they never shall obtain peace and forgiveness of sin, for they shall not rejoice in their offspring, they shall see the slaughter of their beloved, they shall lament over the destruction of their sons, and shall solicit for ever, but they shall not obtain mercy and peace.
