Chapter 5  
     
1.
 Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had happened.
  
2.
 He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in his days.
  
3.
 Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of peace.
  
4.
 And behold the Watchers called me Enoch the scribe.
  
5.
 Then the Lord said to me: Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women.
  
6.
 And have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on the earth;
  
7.
 That on the earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin.
 
8.
 For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.
  
9.
 Then Enoch, passing on, said to Azazyel: You shalt not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you;
  
10.
 Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the oppression which you have taught;
  
11.
 And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men.
  
12.
 Then departing from him I spoke to them all together;
  
13.
 And they all became terrified, and trembled;
  
14.
 Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the God of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offence for which they were judged.
  
15.
 Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplications, for their spirits, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest.
  
16.
 Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of Danbadan, (Dan in Dan) which is on the right to the west of Armon, reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep.
  
17.
 And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me.
 
18.
 I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them.
 
19.
 When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in Oubelseyael, which is situated between Libanos and Seneser, (Lebanon and Senir (near Damascus)) with their faces veiled.
  
20.
 I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream; And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.
