1 Enoch (R. H. Charles)

1 Enoch 49

XLIX. The Power and Wisdom of the Elect One.

1 For wisdom is poured out like water,And glory faileth not before him for evermore.
2 For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness,And unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow,And have no continuance;Because the Elect One standeth before the Lord of Spirits,And his glory is for ever and ever,And his might unto all generations.
3 And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom,And the spirit which gives insight,And the spirit of understanding and of might,And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
4 And he shall judge the secret things,And none shall be able to utter a lying word before him;For he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
