1And now my son Mathusala, call to me all thy brethren, and gather to me all the children of thy mother, for a voice calls me, and the spirit is poured out upon me, that I may shew you every thing which shall happen to you for ever.
2Then Mathusala went and called to him all his brethren, and gathered together all his relations.
3And he spake to all his children in truth;
4Enoch said, Hear my children every word of your father, and listen in uprightness to the voice of my mouth, for I would gain your attention, while to you I speak. My beloved, love integrity, and walk in it.
5Approach not integrity with a double heart, and join not yourselves with those who are double hearted; but my children walk in righteousness, which will conduct you in good paths, and let truth be your companion.
6For I know that the state of oppression will be powerful on earth, and that it will be terminated by a great punishment on the earth, and there shall be an end of all unrighteousness which shall be cut off from its root, and all its fabric shall pass away. But unrighteousness shall be renewed again, and stand forth upon the earth, for every work of unrighteousness, and every work of oppression, and crime, shall be taken hold of a second time.
7Therefore when unrighteousness, sin, blasphemy, oppression, and every evil work shall increase, and also when transgression, impiety, and uncleanness shall increase, then upon them all there shall be inflicted a great punishment from heaven.
8The holy Lord will go forth with wrath, and with punishment, that he may execute judgment on the earth.
9In those days oppression shall be cut off from its roots, and the roots of iniquity together with fraud shall be rooted out from under heaven. *
10Every place of strength with its multitude shall be given up, and shall be burnt with fire.
11And they shall be brought from all the earth, and be cast into a judgment of fire, and they shall perish in wrath, and by a powerful judgment for ever.
12And the righteous shall be raised up from slumbers, and wisdom shall be raised up, and shall be given to them.
13Then the roots of wickedness shall be cut off, and sinners shall perish by the sword, and blasphemers in every part shall be destroyed.
14Those who meditate oppression, and those who blaspheme shall perish by the sword.
15And now my children, I will describe and shew to you the way of righteousness, and the way of oppression.
16I will again point them out to you, that ye may know what is to come.
17And now hear my children and walk in the way of righteousness, but go not in the way of oppression, for all who walk in the ways of iniquity shall. perish for ever.
