[1]Then Enoch, passing on, said to Azazyel: Thou shalt not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against thee. He shall bind thee;
[2]Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be thine, on account of the oppression which thou hast taught;
[3]And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which thou hast discovered to the children of men.
[4]Then departing from him I spoke to them all together;
[5]And they all became terrified, and trembled;
[6]Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the God of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offence for which they were judged.
[7]Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplication, for their spirits, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest.
[8]Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of Danbadan, which is on the right to the west of Armon, reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep.
[9]And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me. I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in Oubelseyael, which is situated between Libanos and Seneser, with their faces veiled.
[10]I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream;
[11]And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.
