And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: ‘Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice.
And go, say to 〚the Watchers of heaven〛, who have sent thee to intercede 〚for them: “You should intercede〛 for men, and not men for you:
Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons.
And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those ⌜also⌝ do who die and perish.
Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth.
But you were ⌜formerly⌝ spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world.
And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling.
And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling.
Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, 〚and〛 from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌜they shall be evil spirits on earth, and⌝ evil spirits shall they be called. [
As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.]
And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, ⌜but nevertheless hunger⌝ and thirst, and cause offences.
And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded ⌜from them⌝.
Text sources and edition

The traditional KJV Common Cambridge Text is used, with its supplied-word italics. This is not the NKJV or a facsimile of the first 1611 printing. Bible text and original Strong’s dictionaries are public domain in the United States; the Greek electronic edition has a CC0 dedication. See the included source manifest. Administrators can correct text; corrections are recorded separately from the imported source.

Additional texts: Book of Enoch (1 Enoch), R. H. Charles, 1917; Book of Jasher, historical English translation reproduced in the 1887 edition. These are separate from the KJV. The category title is the site’s chosen designation. The surviving Jasher edition is not established as the lost book cited in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. Charles’s critical symbols and parallel readings are retained; numbered subverses share their parent verse. See the supplied source notes.
