Now therefore, children, hearken unto me, And I will open your eyes to see, And to understand the works of God. And to choose what He approveth, And to reject what He hateth:
2To walk uprightly in all His ways, And not to go about in the thoughts of an evil imagination And with eyes full of fornication.
3For many were led astray by them, And mighty men of valor stumbled by them from of old and until this day.
4Because they walked in the stubbornness of their heart the watchers of heaven fell. By them were they caught because they kept not the commandment of God.
5And their children whose height was like the loftiness of the cedars And whose bodies were like the mountains fell thereby.
6All flesh that was on dry land perished thereby. And they were as though they had not been.
7Because they did their own will, and kept not the commandment of their Maker, Until His wrath was kindled against them.
