Chapter 13

1

THEN Chanok, passing on, said to Aza'zel: You shall not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you;

2

Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the oppression which you have taught;

3

And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men.

4

Then departing from him I spoke to them all together;

5

And they all became terrified, and trembled;

6

Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the Elohiym of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offence for which they were judged.

7

Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplications, for their ruachoth, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest.

8

Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of Dan, which is on the right to the west of Chermon, reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep.

9

And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me. I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in Oubelseya'el, which is situated between Lebanon and Seniyr, with their faces veiled.

10

I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream;

11

And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.
