1 Enoch 95

1 Enoch (R.H. Charles Translation, 1917)

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.
