ENOCH 15 – The Watchers: Fallen Ones

CHAP. 15.—And he answered and spoke to me with his word: “Hear, and fear not,
Enoch, thou just man and scribe of justice, approach hither, and hear my words. 2. And go,
say to the watchers of heaven, who have sent thee, that thou shouldst petition for them: ‘Ye
should petition for men, and not men for you. 3. Why have ye left the high, holy, and
everlasting heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men,
and taken wives unto yourselves, and acted like the children of earth, and begotten giants
as sons? 4. While ye were spiritual, holy, having eternal life, ye defiled yourselves with
women, and with the blood of flesh have begotten children, and have lusted after the blood
of men, and have produced flesh and blood as they produce who die and are destroyed. 5.
Therefore I have given them wives that they might impregnate them and children be born
by them, as it is done on earth. 6. Ye were formerly spiritual, living an eternal life without
death to all the generations of the world. 7. Therefore I have not made for you any wives,
for spiritual beings have their home in heaven. 8. And now the giants, who have been
begotten from body and flesh, will be called evil spirits on earth, and their dwelling-places will
be upon the earth. 9. Evil spirits proceed from their bodies; because they are created from
above, their beginning and first basis being from the holy watchers, they will be evil spirits
upon the earth, and will be called evil spirits. 10. But the spirits of heaven have their
dwelling-places in heaven, and the spirits of the earth, who were born on the earth, have
their dwelling-places on earth. 11. And the spirits of the giants, who cast themselves upon
the clouds, will be destroyed and fall, and will battle and cause destruction on the earth, and
do evil; they will take no kind of food, nor will they become thirsty, and they will be invisible.
12. And these spirits will not rise up against the children of men and against the women,
because they have proceeded from them. In the days of murder and destruction.

CHAP. 16.—and of the death of the giants, when the spirits have proceeded from the
bodies, their flesh shall decay without judgment; thus they shall be destroyed till that day
when the great judgment over all the great world shall be completed over the watchers and
the impious. 2. And now to the watchers who have sent thee that thou shouldst petition for
them who were formerly in heaven say: 3. ‘Ye have been in heaven, and though the secrets
were not yet revealed to you, still ye knew illegitimate mysteries, and these ye have, in the
hardness of your hearts, related to the women, and through these mysteries women and men
increase wickedness over the earth.’ 4. Tell them therefore: ‘Ye have no peace!’”

Enoch 18:13- Enoch 20
 13. And there I saw a terrible thing: seven stars, like great burning mountains and
like spirits, that petitioned me. 14. The angel said: “This is the place of the consummation
of heaven and earth; it is a prison for the stars of heaven, and for the host of heaven. 15. And
the stars that roll over the fire are they who have transgressed the command of God before
their rising, because they did not come forth in their time. 16. And he was enraged at them,
and bound them till the time of the consummation of their sins in the year of the mystery.”

CHAP. 19.—And Uriel said to me: “Here will stand the souls of those angels who have
united themselves with women, and having assumed many different forms, have
contaminated mankind, and have led them astray so that they brought offerings to the
demons as to gods, namely on the day when the great judgment, on which they will be
judged, shall be consummated. 2. And their women having led astray the angels of heaven,
will be like their friends.” 3. And I, Enoch, alone saw this vision, the ends of all; and no man
has seen them as I have seen them.

CHAP. 20.—And these are the names of the holy angels who watch: 2. Uriel, one of the
holy angels, the angel of thunder and of trembling; 3. Rufael, one of the holy angels, the angel
of the spirits of men; 4. Raguel, one of the holy angels, who takes vengeance on the earth and
the luminaries; 5. Michael, one of the holy angels, namely set over the best portion of men,
over the people; 6. Saraqâel, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of the children of
men who induce the spirits to sin; 7. Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the serpents
and over the Paradise and the Cherubim.
