1 Enoch 58
Enoch Blesses Righteous
Open in the reader →1I began to speak the third parable, concerning the righteous and the chosen.
2Blessed are you, righteous and chosen ones, for your portion is glorious.
3The righteous will be in the light of the sun, and the chosen in the light of everlasting life. Their days of life have no end, and the holy ones have no count of days.
4They will seek the light and find righteousness with the Lord of Spirits. Peace to the righteous in the name of the Lord of the world!
5After this the holy ones in heaven will be told to seek the hidden things of righteousness, the portion of faith, for it has risen like the sun upon dry land, and darkness has passed away.
6There will be light that cannot be counted, and it will not be bounded by a number of days. For darkness was first examined, and light will stand firm before the Lord of Spirits. Upright light will stand firm for ever before the Lord of Spirits.
