Book of Enoch 46

Ethiopic

In that day, the prayer of the holy and righteous, and the blood of the righteous, shall ascend from the earth into the presence of the Lord of spirits.

2The holy ones who dwell above the heavens shall assemble in that day, and with united voice petition, supplicate, praise, laud, and glorify the name of the Lord of spirits, on account of the blood of the righteous which has been shed, that the prayer of the righteous may not be interrupted before the Lord of spirits, that for their sake he would execute judgment, and that his patience may not endure for ever.

3At that time, I saw the Creator of days, while he sat upon the throne of his glory, the book of the living was opened in his presence, and all the powers which were in the heavens stood around and before him.

4Then the hearts of the saints were full of joy, because the accomplishment of righteousness was come, the supplication of the saints heard, and the blood of the righteous esteemed by the Lord of spirits.
