The Book of Enoch the Prophet (1883)
1Eno(Lau)
The Septuagint in English by Brenton
LXX(EN)
[No book] [1]Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why dost thou overlook us in times of need, in affliction?
[No book] [2]While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: the wicked are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
[No book] [3]Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
[No book] [4]The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after him: God is not before him.
[No book] [5]His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
[No book] [6]For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, continuing without evil from generation to generation.
[No book] [7]Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
[No book] [8]He lies in wait with rich men in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
[No book] [9]He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him after him: he will bring him down in his snare.
[No book] [10]He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
[No book] [11]For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
[No book] [12]Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
[No book] [13]Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require it.
[No book] [14]Thou seest it; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
[No book] [15]Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
[No book] [16]The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
[No book] [17]The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
[No book] [18]to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
