1In the five hundredth year, and in the seventh month, on the fourteenth _day_ of the month, of the lifetime of Enoch, in that parable, I saw that the heaven of heavens shook; that it shook violently; and that the powers of the Most High, and the angels, thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads, were agitated with great agitation. And when I looked, the Ancient of days was sitting on the throne of his glory, while the angels and saints were standing around him. A great trembling came upon me, and terror seized me. My loins were bowed down and loosened; my reins were dissolved; and I fell upon my face. The holy Michael; another holy angel, one of the holy ones, was sent, who raised me up.
2And when he raised me, my spirit returned; for I was incapable of enduring this vision of violence, its agitation, and the concussion of heaven.
3Then holy Michael said to me, Wherefore art thou disturbed at this vision?
4Hitherto has existed the day of mercy; and he has been merciful and longsuffering towards all who dwell upon the earth.
5But when the time shall come, then _shall_ the power, the punishment, and the judgment _take place_, which the Lord of spirits has prepared for those who prostrate themselves to the judgment of righteousness, for those who abjure that judgment, and for those who take _his_ name in vain.
6That day has been prepared for the elect _as a day of_ covenant; and for sinners _as a day of_ inquisition.
7In that day shall be distributed _for food_ two monsters; a female monster, whose name is Leviathan, dwelling in the depths of the sea, above the springs of waters;
8And a male _monster_, whose name is Behemoth; which possesses, _moving_ on his breast, the invisible wilderness.
9His name was Dendayen in the east of the garden, where the elect and the righteous will dwell; where he received _it_ from my ancestor, who was man, from Adam the first of men, whom the Lord of spirits made.
10Then I asked of another angel to show me the power of those monsters, how they became separated on the same day, one _being_ in the depths of the sea, and one in the dry desert.
11And he said, Thou, son of man, art here desirous of understanding secret things. 12. And the angel of peace, who was with me, said, These two monsters are by the power of God prepared to become food, that the punishment of God may not be in vain.
13Then shall children be slain with their mothers, and sons with their fathers.
14And when the punishment of the Lord of spirits shall continue, upon them shall it continue, that the punishment of the Lord of spirits may not take place in vain. After that, judgment shall exist with mercy and longsuffering.
