Book of Enoch 55

Ethiopic

I now begin to declare the third parable, concerning the righteous and the elect.

2Happy are ye, Oh ye righteous and elect, for your lot is glorious.

3The righteous shall exist in the light of the sun, and the elect in the light of everlasting life, the days of whose life shall never end, and the days of the saints shall not be numbered, who seek for light, and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits.

4Peace be to the righteous with the Lord of the world.

5Henceforth the saints shall be told that they must seek in heaven for the secrets of righteousness, the portion of faith, for like the sun it has risen upon the earth, and darkness has vanished away, and there shall be light which shall never end, and they shall never attempt to number their days, for before that darkness shall be destroyed, and light will become strong before the Lord of spirits, the light of uprightness will become strong before the Lord of spirits for ever and ever.
