1 Enoch 48:9

In 1 translation

1En-Charles
And I will give them over into the hands of Mine elect: As straw in the fire so shall they burn before the face of the holy: As lead in the water shall they sink before the face of the righteous, And no trace of them shall any more be found.Cf. Exod. xv. 7, 10. Gehenna is here visible to the righteous, cf. xxvii. 2, 3, xc. 26, 27; 4 Ezra vi. 1, but not so in En. lxii. 12, 13; Rev. xx. 14; or in the last clause here – 'no trace'. Really the Parables transform the conception of Gehenna, and the spectacle is only temporary in this verse.
