[THE CONCLUDING SECTION OF THE BOOK. Enoch's Grief: fresh Woes against the Sinners.] [1]Oh that mine eyes were [a cloud of] waters That I might weep over you, And pour down my tears as a cloud +of+ waters: That so I might rest from my trouble of heart! [2]+Who has permitted you to practice reproaches and wickedness? And so judgement shall overtake you, sinners. + [3]Fear not the sinners, ye righteous; For again will the Lord deliver them into your hands, That ye may execute judgement upon them according to your desires. [4]Woe to you who fulminate anathemas which cannot be reversed: Healing shall therefore be far from you because of your sins. [5]Woe to you who requite your neighbour with evil; For ye shall be requited according to your works. [6]Woe to you, lying witnesses, And to those who weigh out injustice, For suddenly shall ye perish. [7]Woe to you, sinners, for ye persecute the righteous; For ye shall be delivered up and persecuted because of injustice, And heavy shall its yoke be upon you.
