The Book of Enoch (1917)
1Eno(Cha)
The Septuagint in English by Brenton
LXX(EN)
[No book] [1]And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
[No book] [2]And thou, son of man—of all the wood, of the branches that are among the trees of the forest, what shall be made of the wood of the vine?
[No book] [3]Will they take wood of it to make it fit for work? will they take of it a peg to hang any vessel upon it?
[No book] [4]It is only given to the fire to be consumed; the fire consumes that which is yearly pruned of it, and it is utterly gone. Will it be useful for any work?
[No book] [5]Not even while it is yet whole will it be useful for any work: if the fire shall have utterly consumed it, will it still be fit for work?
[No book] [6]Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord, As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given up to the fire to be consumed, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[No book] [7]And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth of the fire, and yet fire shall devour them; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have set my face against them.
[No book] [8]And I will give up the land to ruin, because they have utterly transgressed, saith the Lord.
