Chapter XII Summary
Enoch was taken away. No one knew where he went or what happened to him. He was with the Watchers and the holy ones. Enoch was praising the Lord. The Watchers called him. They told him to speak to the fallen Watchers. These Watchers had left heaven. They had slept with women and acted like humans. The Watchers had caused great harm on earth. Enoch was to tell them they would have no peace or forgiveness. They liked their children. But they would see their loved ones die. They would cry over their children's destruction. They would beg for mercy forever. But they would not get mercy or peace.
Enoch was taken away before these events, and no one knew where he went, where he was staying, or what happened to him.
2His work involved the Watchers, and he spent his days with the holy ones.
3"I, Enoch, was praising the Lord of majesty and the King of all ages, when suddenly the Watchers called out to me, saying, 'Enoch, the scribe,'"
4"Enoch, you who write about what is right, go and tell the fallen angels who left their holy home in heaven. They have done wrong with women and acted like humans, even marrying them. You have caused great harm on earth:"
5You will find no peace or forgiveness for your sins. As much as they take joy in their children,
6They will witness the murder of their loved ones and mourn the destruction of their children. They will plead for mercy forever, but they will never find it or experience peace.
