1 Enoch 13

1And Enoch went and said: ‘Azâzêl, thou shalt have no peace: a severe sentence has gone forth against thee to put thee in bonds:*Azâzêl addressed in conformity with x. 4. Message of his doom. See xii-xvi (note). 2And thou shalt not have toleration nor †request† granted to thee, because of the unrighteousness which thou hast taught, and because of all the works of godlessness and unrighteousness and sin which thou hast shown to men.’ 3Then I went and spoke to them all together, and they were all afraid, and fear and trembling seized them. 4And they besought me to draw up a petition for them that they might find forgiveness, and to read their petition in the presence of the Lord of heaven.*4, 5. As the angels could not address God nor lift up their eyes to heaven, Enoch is besought to become their intercessor. As a scribe, he draws up their petition in writing, and does not present it by word of mouth. 5For from thenceforward they could not speak (with Him) nor lift up their eyes to heaven for shame of their sins for which they had been condemned. 6Then I wrote out their petition, and the prayer †in regard to their spirits and their deeds individually and in regard to their requests that they should have forgiveness and length†. 7And I went off and sat down at the waters of Dan, in the land of Dan, to the south of the west of Hermon: I read their petition till I fell asleep.*This river, called also the Little Jordan (Joseph, Ant, v. 3. 1, viii. 8. 4) is a tributary of the Jordan. This place (from דין, to judge) is chosen because of the significance of its name here– judgement.. 8And behold a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of chastisement, ┌and a voice came bidding (me)┐ I to tell it to the sons of heaven, and reprimand them. 9And when I awaked, I came unto them, and they were all sitting gathered together, weeping in ’Abelsjâîl, which is between Lebanon and Sênêsêr, with their faces covered.*Senir, a name of Hermon - Deut. iii. 9, Cant. iv. 8. 10And I recounted before them all the visions which I had seen in sleep, and I began to speak the words of righteousness, and to reprimand the heavenly Watchers.*judge angels.
