[Chapter 16]
1 From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of
whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgement -thus
shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgement in which the age
shall be 2 consummated, over the Watchers and the godless, yea, shall be wholly
consummated." And now as to the watchers who have sent thee to intercede for them,
who had been aforetime in heaven, (say 3 to them): "You have been in heaven, but all the
mysteries had not yet been revealed to you, and you knew worthless ones, and these in the
hardness of your hearts you have made known to the women, and through these mysteries
women and men work much evil on earth." 4 Say to them therefore: " You have no
peace."'
[Chapter 17]
1 And they took and brought me to a place in which those who were there were like
flaming fire, 2 and, when they wished, they appeared as men. And they brought me to the
place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to heaven. And I
saw the places of the luminaries and the treasuries of the stars and of the thunder and in
the uttermost depths, where were 4 a fiery bow and arrows and their quiver, and a fiery
sword and all the lightnings. And they took 5 me to the living waters, and to the fire of
the west, which receives every setting of the sun. And I came to a river of fire in which
the fire flows like water and discharges itself into the great sea towards 6 the west. I saw
the great rivers and came to the great river and to the great darkness, and went
7 to the
place where no flesh walks. I saw the mountains of the darkness of winter and the place
8
whence all the waters of the deep flow. I saw the mouths of all the rivers of the earth and
the mouth of the deep.
[Chapter 18]
1 I saw the treasuries of all the winds: I saw how He had furnished with them the whole
creation 2 and the firm foundations of the earth. And I saw the corner-stone of the earth:
I saw the four 3 winds which bear [the earth and] the firmament of the heaven. And I saw
how the winds stretch out the vaults of heaven, and have their station between heaven and
earth: these are the pillars 4 of the heaven. I saw the winds of heaven which turn and
bring the circumference of the sun and 5 all the stars to their setting. I saw the winds on
the earth carrying the clouds: I saw the paths 6 of the angels. I saw at the end of the
earth the firmament of the heaven above. And I proceeded and saw a place which burns
day and night, where there are seven mountains of magnificent stones, 7 three towards the
east, and three towards the south. And as for those towards the east, was of
coloured stone, and one of pearl, and one of jacinth, and those towards the south of red
stone. 8 But the middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God, of alabaster, and
the summit of the 9,10 throne was of sapphire. And I saw a flaming fire. And beyond
these mountains Is a region the end of the great earth: there the heavens were completed.
And I saw a deep abyss, with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of
fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards 12 the height and towards the depth.
And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no
firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no 13 birds, but it was a
waste and horrible place. I saw there seven stars like great burning mountains,
14 and to
me, when I inquired regarding them, The angel said: 'This place is the end of heaven and
earth: this has become a prison for the stars and the host of heaven. And the stars which
roll over the fire are they which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord in the
beginning of 16 their rising, because they did not come forth at their appointed times. And
He was wroth with them, and bound them till the time when their guilt should be
consummated (even) for ten thousand years.'
[Chapter 19]
1 And Uriel said to me: 'Here shall stand the angels who have connected themselves with
women, and their spirits assuming many different forms are defiling mankind and shall lead
them astray into sacrificing to demons as gods, (here shall they stand,) till the day of the
great judgement in 2 which they shall be judged till they are made an end of. And the
women also of the angels who 3 went astray shall become sirens.' And I, Enoch, alone
saw the vision, the ends of all things: and no man shall see as I have seen.
[Chapter 20]
1,2 And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels,
who is 3 over the world and over Tartarus. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over
the spirits of men. 4,5 Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world
of the luminaries. Michael, one 6 of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best
part of mankind and over chaos. Saraqael, 7 one of the holy angels, who is set over the
spirits, who sin in the spirit. Gabriel, one of the holy 8 angels, who is over Paradise and
the serpents and the Cherubim. Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those
who rise.
