1 Enoch Chapter 47
Previous Chapter -- Next Chapter -- Section

1 And in those days shall have ascended the prayer of the righteous,

   And the blood of the righteous from the earth before

      the Lord of Spirits.

2 In those days the holy ones who dwell above in the heavens

   Shall unite with one voice And supplicate and pray

   [and praise, And give thanks and bless the name of

      the Lord of Spirits

   On behalf of the blood of the righteous which has been shed,

   And that the prayer of the righteous may not be in vain before

      the Lord of Spirits,

   That judgement may be done unto them,

   And that they may not have to suffer for ever.

3 In those days I saw the Head of Days when He seated himself upon

      the throne of His glory,

   And the books of the living were opened before Him:

   And all His host which is in heaven above and His counselors

      stood before Him,

4 And the hearts of the holy were filled with joy;

   Because the number of the righteous had been offered,

   And the prayer of the righteous had been heard,

   And the blood of the righteous been required before

      the Lord of Spirits.
