^<strong>The</strong> words <strong>of</strong> blessing with] which <strong>Enoch</strong> [blessed the righteous]<br />

elect [who will be present on the day <strong>of</strong> tribulation to remove all the enemies,<br />

and the righteous will be delivered. ^And taking up] his parable [he] said,<br />

[<strong>Enoch</strong>, a just man to whom a vision from God was disclosed:<br />

'<strong>The</strong> vision <strong>of</strong> the Holy One and <strong>of</strong> heaven was shown to me], and from<br />

the words <strong>of</strong> [the Watchers] and the holy ones [I heard] it all; [and because<br />

I heard from them, I knew and I understood ever5rthing; not for] this<br />

generation, but for a far-<strong>of</strong>f generation I shall speak. [^And concerning the<br />

elect I now say, and about them I took up my parable and said:] the Great<br />

Holy One shall come forth from [His dwelling, ^and the everlasting God<br />

shall come down upon earth, and tread on Mount Sinai, and will be shown<br />

with His] mighty [army]; and He will appear [in the strength <strong>of</strong> His] might<br />

[from the heaven <strong>of</strong> heavens. ^And all the Watchers will fear and they will be<br />

punished in hidden places among all] the creatures (?) <strong>of</strong> the earth; and all<br />

the creatures (?) <strong>of</strong> the earth will quake, [and trembling and great fear will<br />

take hold <strong>of</strong> them, unto the ends <strong>of</strong> the earth. ^And] the heights [shall be<br />

shaken and fall and be dissolved], and [the high mountains] shall be [laid<br />

low . • .]
