1. That which was written by Enoch. He wrote all this instruction of
wisdom for every man of dignity, and every judge of the earth; for all
my children who shall dwell upon earth, and for subsequent generations,
conducting themselves uprightly and peaceably.
2. Let not your spirit be grieved on account of the times; for the holy,
the Great One, has prescribed a period[244] to all.
3. Let the righteous man arise from slumber; let him arise, and proceed
in the path of righteousness, in all its paths; and let him advance[245]
in goodness and in eternal clemency. Mercy shall be showed to the
righteous man; upon him shall be conferred integrity and power for ever.
In goodness and in righteousness shall he exist, and shall walk in
everlasting light; but sin shall perish in eternal darkness, nor be seen
from this time forward for evermore.
