Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And Enoch began to recount from the books and said: ‘I was born the seventh in the first week, While judgement and righteousness still endured.

2And after me there shall arise in the second week great wickedness, And deceit shall have sprung up; And in it there shall be the first end. And in it a man shall be saved; And after it is ended unrighteousness shall grow up, And a law shall be made for the sinners.

3And after that in the third week at its close A man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgement, And his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness for evermore.

4And after that in the fourth week, at its close, Visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, And a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.

5And after that in the fifth week, at its close, The house of glory and dominion shall be built for ever.
