🔊 LISTEN TO CHAPTER

The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish apocalyptic work traditionally attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is canonical only in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The original language was either Hebrew or Aramaic, and the only complete extant version is in Ge'ez. This translation by R.H. Charles (1917) remains the standard scholarly English translation. The book is pseudepigraphal and was highly influential on early Christian and Jewish mystical thought. It is not included in the Protestant, Catholic, or most Orthodox canons.

Enoch

Chapter 27 — The Purpose of the Accursed Valley.

1

Then said I: 'For what object is this blessed land, which is entirely filled with trees, and this accursed valley between?

2

Then Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered and said: 'This' accursed valley is for those who are accursed for ever: here shall all the accursed' be gathered together who utter with their lips against the Lord unseemly words and of His glory speak hard things.

3

In the last days there shall be upon them the spectacle of righteous judgement in the presence of the righteous for ever: here shall the merciful bless the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King.

4

In the days of judgement over the former, they shall bless Him for the mercy in accordance with which He has assigned them (their lot).

5

Then I blessed the Lord of Glory and set forth His glory and lauded Him gloriously.
