1 Enoch 41
Heaven's Treasuries and Hidden Laws
Open in the reader →1And after this I saw all the hidden things of the heavens, and how the kingdom is divided, and how the deeds of human beings are weighed in the balance.
2There I saw the dwelling places of the sinners and the dwelling places of the holy ones; and there my eyes saw all the sinners being driven away from there—those who deny the name of the Lord of Spirits—and they were being dragged off, and they could not stand because of the punishment that goes out from the Lord of Spirits.
3And there my eyes saw the hidden treasuries of the lightning and the thunder, and the hidden treasuries of the winds—how they are divided so that they may blow upon the earth—and the hidden treasuries of the clouds and the dew; and there I saw from where they come in that place, and from there they water the dust of the earth.
4And there I saw the storehouses of the lightning, and from them are apportioned the wind from the storehouse of hail, and the wind from the storehouse of mist, and the cloud and its cloud remain over the earth from before the world.
5And I saw the storehouses of the sun and of the moon, where they come out and where they go in, and their glorious return; and one is more honored than the other. And their course is blessed, and they do not overstep their course, and they do not add to it, and they do not take away from their course; and they keep faith with one another by an oath.
