About this work

Author: Unknown

18. For I have read also in

‹ Section 17 Section 19 ›

the

books

of

Enoch

the

righteous

what

evils

ye

shall

do

in

the

last

days

.

Take

heed

,

therefore

,

my

children

,

of

fornication

and

the

love

of

money

;

hearken

to

Judah

your

father

,

for

these

things

do

withdraw

you

from

the

law

of

God

,

and

blind

the

understanding

of

the

soul

,

and

teach

arrogance

,

and

suffer

not

a

man

to

have

compassion

upon

his

neighbour

:

they

rob

his

soul

of

all

goodness

,

and

bind

him

in

toils

and

troubles

,

and

take

away

his

sleep

and

devour

his

flesh

,

and

hinder

the

sacrifices

of

God

;

and

he

remembereth

not

blessing

,

and

he

hearkeneth

not

to

a

prophet

when

he

speaketh

,

and

is

vexed

at

the

word

of

godliness

.

For

one

who

serveth

two

passions

contrary

to

the

commandments

of

God

cannot

obey

God

,

because

they

have

blinded

his

soul

,

and

he

walketh

in

the

day

-

time

as

in

the

night

.
