Enoch 97
The sinners will become a shame
1 Believe, you righteous, that the sinners will become a shame
And will perish in the day of unrighteousness.
2 Let it be known to you, you sinners, that the Most High is mindful of your destruction,
And the messengers of heaven rejoice over your destruction.
What will you do on that day?
3 What will you do, you sinners,
And where will you flee on that day of judgment,
When you hear the voice of the prayer of the righteous?
4 Yes, you will fare like those
Against whom this word will be a testimony:
“You have been companions of sinners.”
5 And in those days the prayer of the righteous will reach the Lord,
And for you the days of your judgment will come.
6 And all the words of your unrighteousness will be read out before the Holy Great One,
And your faces will be covered with shame,
And he will reject every work that is grounded on unrighteousness.
Woe to you who gather silver and gold
7 Woe to you, you sinners, who live on the open sea and on the dry land,
Whose remembrance is evil against you.
8 Woe to you who acquire silver and gold in unrighteousness and say:
“We have become rich with riches and have possessions;
And we have acquired everything we have desired.
9 And now let us do what we planned:
For we have gathered silver,
And many are the farm workers in our houses,
And our granaries are full to the brim, as if with water.”
10 Yes, and like water your lies will flow away;
For your riches will not last
But will quickly ascend from you;
For you have acquired it all in unrighteousness,
And you will be given over to a great curse.
