[[SECT. III.ⓘ]]
[1] Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had happened.
[2] He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in his days.
[3] I, Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of peace.
[4] And behold the Watchers called me Enoch the scribe.
[5] Then the Lord said to me: Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women.
[6] And have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on the earth;
[7] That on the earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.
