94 HANOCH - ENOCH 94
Enoch's Advice to his Children and to the Righteous
94:1 “Now, my children, I say to you: Love righteousness and walk therein! For the ways of righteousness are worthy of being embraced; but the ways of wickedness shall soon perish and diminish.”
94:2 “To certain known persons, the ways of injustice and death shall be revealed as soon as they are born; and they shall keep themselves at a distance from those ways and would not follow them.”
94:3 “Now to you, those righteous ones, I say: Do not walk in the evil way, or in the way of death! Do not draw near to them lest you be destroyed!”
94:4 “But seek for yourselves and choose righteousness and the elect life! Walk in the way of shalom so that you shall have life and be worthy!”
94:5 “Hold fast my words in the thoughts of your hearts; and let them not be erased from your hearts! For I do know that sinners will counsel the people to perform evil craft; and every place will welcome it, and every advice of the sinners may not diminish.”
Woes Unto the Sinners
94:6 “Woe unto those who build oppression and injustice! Who lay foundations for deceit. They shall soon be demolished; and they shall have no shalom.”
94:7 “Woe unto those who build their houses with sin! For they shall all be demolished from their foundations; and they shall fall by the sword. Those who amass gold and silver; they shall quickly be destroyed.”
94:8 “Woe unto you, O rich people! For you have put your trust in your wealth. You shall ooze out of your riches, for you do not remember YAHWEH the Most High.”
94:9 “In the days of your affluence, you committed oppression, you have become ready for death, and for the day of darkness and the day of great judgment.”
94:10 “Thus I speak and let you know: For HE who has created you, HE will also throw you down upon your own righteousness! There shall be no mercy for you.”
94:11 “And HE, your Creator, shall rejoice at your destruction. O YAHWEH, YOUR righteous ones shall be a reproach to the sinners and the wicked.”
