1The vision which he saw, the second vision of wisdom, which Enoch saw, the son of Jared, the son of Malaleel, the son of Canan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam. This is the beginning of the word of wisdom, which I obtained to proclaim and relate to them who dwell on earth. Hear from the beginning, and understand to the end, the holy things which I declare in the presence of the Lord of spirits. Those who were before held it for good to speak.
2And let not us who come after, hinder the beginning of wisdom, for until the present time, there never has been given before the Lord of spirits, that which I have obtained, wisdom according to the ability of my understanding, and according to the pleasure of the Lord of spirits, that which has been given to me by him, a portion of eternal life.
3What I received, which was in three parables, I declared to the inhabitants of the world.
