1 Enoch 27
Cursed Valley for Blasphemers Revealed
Open in the reader →1At that time I said, “For what reason is this blessed land, all of it full of trees, and this accursed valley in their midst?”
2At that time Uriel, one of the holy angels who was with me, answered me and said to me, “This accursed valley is for those who are accursed forever. Here all those will be gathered who speak with their mouths improper words against the Lord, and who utter harsh things concerning his glory. Here they will be gathered, and here will be their place of judgment.”
3In the latter days this will become for them a spectacle of righteous judgment in the presence of the righteous forever; all the days here the wise will bless the Lord of glory, the eternal King.
4In the days of their judgment they will bless him for the mercy, according as he has apportioned to them.
5At that time I blessed the Lord of glory, and I spoke and sang praise as is fitting for his majesty.
