1 Enoch 1

Pseudonymously attributed to the patriarch Enoch (Genesis 5); actually a composite of several sections by different unknown authors, written across roughly the 3rd to 1st century BC. Visionary and apocalyptic material on fallen angels, the great flood, cosmology, and final judgment -- quoted directly in the New Testament book of Jude, and canonical scripture in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

1The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and godless are to be removed.

2And he took up his parable and said--Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, which the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.

3Concerning the elect I said, and took up my parable concerning them: The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling,

5And all shall be smitten with fear And the Watchers shall quake, And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.

8But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, And light shall appear unto them, And He will make peace with them.

9And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
