2 HANOCH - ENOCH 2
Hanoch -
Enoch 2:1
Examine all the activities which take place in the sky and how they do not
alter their ways, and examine the luminaries of heaven, how each one of them
rises and sets; each one is systematic according to its respective season; and
they do not divert from their appointed order.
Hanoch -
Enoch 2:2
And look at the earth and turn in your mind concerning the action which is
taking place in her from the beginning to the end: how all the work of YAHWEH
as being manifested does not change.
Hanoch -
Enoch 2:3
And behold the summer and the winter, how the whole earth is filled with water
and clouds and dew; and he causes rain to rest upon her.
3 HANOCH - ENOCH 3
3:1
Examine and observe everything-and the trees, how all their leaves appear as if
they wither and had fallen, except fourteen trees whose leaves do not fall but
the old foliage remains for about two to three years until the new leaves come.
4 HANOCH - ENOCH 4
4:1
And again, examine the days of the summer, how the heat of the sun is upon the
earth and dominates her. And as for you, you will crave shade and shelter on
account of the heat of the sun; and the earth shall burn with scorching heat,
and you are not able to walk on the earth or on the rock on account of the
heat.
5 HANOCH - ENOCH 5
5:1
Observe how the verdant trees are covered with leaves and they bear fruit. Pay
attention concerning all things and know in what manner HE fashioned them. All
of them belong to HIM who lives forever.
5:2
HIS work proceeds and progresses from year to year. And all HIS work prospers
and obeys HIM, and it does not change; but everything functions in the way in
which YAHWEH has ordered it.
5:3
And look at the seas: They do not part; they fulfill all their duties.
5:4
But as for you have not been long-suffering and you have not done the
commandments of YAHWEH, but you have transgressed and spoken slanderously grave
and harsh words with your impure mouths against HIS greatness. Oh, you
hard-hearted, may you not find peace!
5:5
Therefore, you shall curse your days, and the years of your life shall perish
and multiply in eternal execration; and there will not be any mercy unto you.
5:6
In those days, you shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the
righteous; and the sinners shall curse you continually-you together with the
sinners.
5:7
But to the elect there shall be light, joy, and peace, and they shall inherit
the earth. To you, wicked ones, on the contrary, there will be a curse.
5:8
And then wisdom shall be given to the elect. And they shall all live and not
return again to sin, either by being wicked or through pride; but those who
have wisdom shall be humble and not return again to sin.
5:9
And they shall not be judged all the days of their lives; nor die through
plague or wrath, but they shall complete the designated number of the days of
their life.
5:10
And peace shall increase their lives and the years of their happiness shall be
multiplied forever in gladness and peace all the days of their life.
