🔊 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 42 — The Dwelling- places of Wisdom and of Unrighteousness.

1

Wisdom found no place where she might dwell; Then a dwelling- place was assigned her in the heavens.

2

Wisdom went forth to make her dwelling among the children of men, And found no dwelling- place: Wisdom returned to her place And took her seat among the angels.

3

And unrighteousness went forth from her chambers: Whom she sought not she found, And dwelt with them, As rain in a desert, And dew on a thirsty land.
