And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals of the earth and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. And the world was altered.

2And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways.
