The Book of Enoch (1917)
1Eno(Cha)
Young's Literal Translation
YLT
[No book] [1]A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.
[No book] [2]Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one sleep.
[No book] [3]Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.
[No book] [4]As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.
[No book] [5]O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!
