23. And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live until they have
begotten a thousand _children_, while the whole period of their youth,
and their sabbaths shall be completed in peace. In those days all the
earth shall be cultivated in righteousness; it shall be wholly planted
with trees, and filled with benediction; every tree of delight shall be
planted in it.
24. In it shall vines be planted; and the vine which shall be planted in
it shall yield fruit to satiety; every seed, which shall be sown in it,
shall produce for one measure a thousand; and one measure of olives
shall produce ten presses of oil.
25. Purify the earth from all oppression, from all injustice, from all
crime, from all impiety, and from all the pollution which is committed
upon it. Exterminate them from the earth.
26. Then shall all the children of men be righteous, and all nations
shall pay me divine honours, and bless me; and all shall adore me.
27. The earth shall be cleansed from all corruption, from every crime,
from all punishment, and from all suffering; neither will I again send a
deluge upon it from generation to generation for ever.
28. In those days I will open the treasures of blessing which are in
heaven, that I may cause them to descend upon earth, and upon all the
works and labour of man.
29. Peace and equity shall associate with the sons of men all the days
of the world, in every generation of it.

1. Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the
sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had
happened.
2. He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in
his days.
