1 Enoch 48:1-10

¹And in that place I saw a fountain of righteousness which was inexhaustible, and around it were many fountains of wisdom; and all the thirsty drank from them and were filled with wisdom, and their dwelling places were with the righteous and the holy and the chosen.

²And in that hour that Son of Man was named before the Lord of Spirits, and his name before the Head of Days.

³Even before the sun and the constellations were created, before the stars of heaven were made, his name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

⁴He shall be a staff to the righteous and the holy, that they may lean upon him and not fall; and he shall be the light of the nations, and he shall be the hope of those who are grieved in their hearts.

⁵All who dwell upon the dry land shall fall down and worship before him, and they shall bless and praise him and sing hymns to the name of the Lord of Spirits.

⁶For this reason he was chosen and hidden before him, before the world was created and for ever before him.

⁷And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits has revealed him to the holy and the righteous; for he has preserved the portion of the righteous, because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness, and have hated all its works and its ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits; for in his name they are saved, and he is the one who requites their lives.

⁸And in those days the kings of the earth and the mighty who possess the dry land shall become downcast of countenance on account of the works of their hands; for on the day of their anguish and distress they shall not save themselves.

⁹And I will give them over into the hands of my chosen ones: as straw in the fire, and as lead in the water, so shall they burn before the face of the righteous and sink before the face of the holy, and no trace of them shall any more be found.

¹⁰And on the day of their affliction there shall be rest upon the earth, and before them they shall fall and shall not rise again; and there shall be no one to take them with his hands and raise them up, for they have denied the Lord of Spirits and his Anointed. Blessed be the name of the Lord of Spirits.
