THE BOOK OF WATCHERS
Chapter 15
1 Then turning himself to me He spake and said, “Hear and fear not, Oh righteous Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, draw near hither, and hear my voice.
2 Go say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent thee to pray for them, 'You ought to pray for men and not men for you.
3 Wherefore have ye forsaken the exalted and holy heaven which remains for ever, and have laid with women, have polluted yourselves with the daughters of men, have taken to yourselves wives, have done like the sons of the earth and begotten a wicked offspring?
4 “‘Ye, who were spiritual, holy, and live a life which is eternal, have defiled yourselves with women, have begotten in carnal blood, have lusted in the blood of men, and have done like those of flesh and blood. These however die and perish.
5 Therefore I have given unto them wives, that they might cohabit with them, that sons might be born of them, and that this might be done on earth.
6 But you were made spirits from the beginning, and possess a life which is eternal, and are not subject to death for ever.
7 Therefore I made not wives for you, because ye are spiritual, and your dwelling was in heaven.’
8 “Now the giants who have been born of spirit and flesh, shall be called evil spirits on earth, and on earth shall be their abode.
9 Evil spirits shall come forth from their flesh, because they were created from above, their beginning and original foundation was from the holy Watchers. They shall be evil spirits on earth, and they shall be called the spirits of the wicked.
10 The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven, but terrestrial spirits who are born on earth shall have their habitation on the earth.
11 The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, quarrel, and wound on earth. They shall cause lamentation, they shall eat no food, and they shall be thirsty, they shall be hidden,
12 and shall not rise up against the sons of men and against women.
Chapter 16
1 “For they shall come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction. And concerning the death of the giants, the Nephilim, and mighty of the earth, those famous chiefs, wheresoever their spirits may depart from their bodies, let that which in them is fleshly perish before the judgment, and thus they shall perish until the day of the great termination of the great world, for there shall be a destruction of the Watchers and the ungodly.
2 “And now say to the Watchers, who have sent thee to pray for them, who in the beginning were in heaven,
3 ‘In heaven you have been, secret things indeed have not been revealed to you, but you have known a reprobated secret. And this you have related to women in the hardness of your heart, and by that secret, women and men have multiplied evils upon the earth.’
4 Say to them, ‘Therefore you never shall obtain peace.’
5 And concerning the mount on which they swore, and anathematized themselves by one another, that to the end there shall not depart from it cold, and snow, and frost, and dew, and that which descends upon it shall not descend unless to a curse, until the day of the great judgment, at which time it shall be burned, it shall be made, low, and it shall be burned and melted as wax from the fire, and all the works of it shall be destroyed by fire.”
