Section: Epistle of Enoch
Translated by R.H. Charles (1917)
XCV. Enoch’s Grief: fresh Woes against the Sinners.
XCV. 1. Oh that mine eyes were [a cloud of] waters That I might weep over you, And pour down my tears as a cloud †of† waters: That so I might rest from my trouble of heart!
-
†Who has permitted you to practise reproaches and wickedness? And so judgement shall overtake you, sinners.†
-
Fear not the sinners, ye righteous; For again will the Lord deliver them into your hands, That ye may execute judgement upon them according to your desires.
-
Woe to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed: Healing shall therefore be far from you because of your sins.
-
Woe to you who requite your neighbour with evil; For ye shall be requited according to your works.
-
Woe to you, lying witnesses, And to those who weigh out injustice, For suddenly shall ye perish.
-
Woe to you, sinners, for ye persecute the righteous; For ye shall be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, And heavy shall its yoke be upon you.
