1 Enoch 62:1-16

¹Thus the Lord commanded the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who dwell upon the earth, saying: "Open your eyes and lift up your horns, if you are able to recognize the Chosen One."

²And the Lord of Spirits seated himself upon the throne of his glory, and the spirit of righteousness was poured out upon him, and the word of his mouth slays all the sinners and all the unrighteous, and from before his face they are destroyed.

³And on that day all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who hold the dry land shall stand up, and they shall see and recognize him, how he sits upon the throne of his glory, and the righteous are judged in righteousness before him, and no idle word is spoken before him.

⁴And pain shall come upon them as upon a woman in travail, whom birth-pangs grip when her child comes to the mouth of the womb, and she is in anguish to give birth.

⁵And one half of them shall look upon the other, and they shall be terrified and cast down their faces, and pain shall seize them when they see that Son of Man sitting upon the throne of his glory.

⁶And the kings and the mighty and all who hold the earth shall praise and bless and exalt him who rules over all that is hidden.

⁷For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden, and the Most High preserved him in the presence of his might, and revealed him to the chosen.

⁸And the congregation of the holy and the chosen shall be sown, and all the chosen shall stand before him on that day.

⁹And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the dry land shall fall down before him upon their faces, and they shall worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man, and they shall entreat him and beg for mercy from him.

¹⁰But the Lord of Spirits shall then drive them away, so that they hasten and depart from before his face, and their faces shall be filled with shame, and darkness shall be heaped upon their faces.

¹¹And the angels of punishment shall take them in charge, that they may be requited for what they did to his children and to his chosen ones.

¹²And they shall become a spectacle to the righteous and to his chosen; they shall rejoice over them, because the wrath of the Lord of Spirits rests upon them, and the sword of the Lord of Spirits is drunk with them.

¹³And the righteous and the chosen shall be saved on that day, and never from that time forth shall they see the faces of the sinners and the unrighteous.

¹⁴And the Lord of Spirits shall abide over them, and with that Son of Man they shall dwell and eat and lie down and rise up, for ever and ever.

¹⁵And the righteous and the chosen shall have risen from the earth, and shall have ceased to cast down their faces, and shall have put on the garment of life.

¹⁶And this shall be the garment of life from the Lord of Spirits: your garments shall not wear out, and your glory shall not pass away before the Lord of Spirits.
