In those days Uriel answered and said to me, Behold, Oh Enoch, I have shewed thee all things,
2And I have revealed all things to thee. Thou seest the sun, and the moon, and those which conduct the stars of heaven, and all those which cause all their operations, times, and egressions.
3In the days of sinners the years shall be shortened.
4Their seed shall be backward on the earth, and on their pasturage, and every thing done on earth shall be turned back, and not appear in its time, the rain shall be kept back, and heaven shall stand still.
5In those days the fruits of the earth shall be late, and not germinate in their time, and the fruits of the earth shall be kept back in that time.
6The moon shall change its laws, and not be seen at its time, but in those days heaven shall be seen, and unfruitfulness shall take place in the frontiers of the great chariots in the west, and he shall shine more than the orders of lights, and many heads among the stars of power shall err, perverting their ways and works.
7They shall not appear in their season who command them, and all the orders of the stars shall be shut up against sinners.
8The thoughts of those who dwell on earth shall transgress within them, and they shall be perverted in all their ways.
9They shall transgress and hold themselves to be gods, while misery shall be great among them,
10And punishment shall come upon them, so that they all shall be destroyed.
