1 Enoch (Ethiopic) Parallel Translations

LIX

1{In those days mine eyes saw the secrets of the lightnings, and of the lights, and the judgements they execute [lit. 'their judgement']: and they lighten for a blessing or a curse as the Lord of 2Spirits willeth. And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, and how when it resounds above in the heaven, the sound thereof is heard, and he caused me to see the judgements executed on the earth, whether they be for well-being and blessing, or for a curse according to the word of the Lord of Spirits. 3And after that all the secrets of the lights and lightnings were shown to me, and they lighten for blessing and for satisfying.}
