And Enoch began to recount from the books and said:
“I was born the seventh in the first week, while judgment and righteousness still endured.

And after me, in the second week, great wickedness shall arise, and deceit shall have sprung up; and in it, there shall be the first end. And in it, a man shall be saved, and after it is ended, unrighteousness shall grow, and a law shall be made for the sinners.

And after that, in the third week, at its close a man shall be elected as the plant of righteous judgment, and his posterity shall become the plant of righteousness forevermore.

And after that, in the fourth week, at its close, visions of the holy and righteous shall be seen, and a law for all generations and an enclosure shall be made for them.

And after that, in the fifth week, at its close, the house of glory and dominion shall be built forever.

And after that, in the sixth week, all who live in it shall be blinded, and the hearts of them all shall godlessly forsake wisdom. And in it, a man shall ascend; and at its close the house of dominion shall be burned with fire, and the whole race of the chosen root shall be dispersed.

And after that, in the seventh week shall an apostate generation arise, and many shall be its deeds, and all its deeds shall be apostate.

And at its close shall be elected the elect righteous from the eternal plant of righteousness, to receive sevenfold instruction concerning all His creation.

For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear the voice of the Holy One without being troubled? And who can think His thoughts? And who is able to behold all the works of heaven?

And how should there be one who could understand the heavens, and see a soul or a spirit, and speak thereof, or ascend and see all their ends and think them or do like them?

Who is there of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the earth? And to whom has been shown the measure of all of them?

Or is there any one who could discern the length of the heaven, and how great is its height, and upon what it is founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and where all the luminaries rest?
