The Judgment upon the Watchers
Themes: Divine Judgment and the Flood
1nd cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is wrought upon the earth destroy from off the earth.
2 And all the children of men shall become righteous, and all nations shall offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me.
3 And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for ever.
4 In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: ‹and› to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever.
5 And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations.
6 And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate, and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind.
7 Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth, and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing: the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.
8 And then shall all the righteous escape, And shall live till they beget thousands of children, And all the days of their youth and their =old age= shall they complete in peace.
9 And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted with trees and be full of blessing.
10 And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it: and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon each measure (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measure of olives shall yield ten presses of oil.
