1 Enoch 49

Chosen One Judges Hidden

Open in the reader →

1For wisdom has been poured out like water, and glory does not cease before him forever and ever.

2For he is mighty in all the hidden things of righteousness. Unrighteousness passes like a shadow and does not remain. The Chosen One has stood before the Lord of Spirits, and his glory is forever and ever, and his power from generation to generation.

3In him dwells the spirit of wisdom, the spirit of understanding, the spirit of instruction and power, and the spirit of those who slept in righteousness.

4He judges what is hidden, and no one can utter a vain word before him, because he is the Chosen One before the Lord of Spirits, as he himself willed.
