Book of Enoch 13

Ethiopic

Then I Enoch went on further, and said to Azaziel, Thou shalt not obtain peace, for a great sentence is gone forth against thee, He will bind thee.

2Neither shall ease, mercy, and intercession be thine, by reason of the oppression which thou hast taught.

3And by reason of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which thou hast disclosed to the children of men.

4Then I went away, and spake to them all gathered together.

5And they were all affrightned, and trembled.

6They besought me to prepare for them a petition, that they might obtain forgiveness, and that I would convey the petition of their prayer before the God of heaven, because they were not able themselves from that time to turn to him, or to lift up their eyes unto heaven, by reason of the ignominious crime for which they had been judged.

7Then I wrote a petition of their prayer and supplication for their souls, concerning all that they had done, and for the object of their entreaty, that they might obtain forgiveness and rest.

8Going further, I passed over the waters of Danbadan, which is on the right side of the west of Armon, and read the memorial of their petition until I fell asleep.

9And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me, I fell down, and saw a vision of punishment, that I might describe it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke, I went to them, they all stood weeping together in Oubelseyael, which is between Libanus and Senezer, with their faces veiled.

10I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream;

11And began to declare these words of righteousness, and reprove the watchers of heaven.
