1 Enoch 60:25

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

When the punishment of the Lord of Spirits shall rest upon them, it shall rest in order that the punishment of the Lord of Spirits may not come, in vain, and it shall slay the children with their mothers and the children with their fathers. Afterwards the judgement shall take place according to His mercy and His patience.’i.e. after the Deluge. Cf. Gen. viii. 21, 22; En. lx. 5 (note). There is a dittograph preceding this verse 'in order that the punishment of the Lord of Spirits may not be (bcx: 'may not come' e; all other MSS. omit negative and verb) in vain and may slay the children with their mothers and the children with their fathers'. Before the last sentence 'Afterwards,...' all MSS. insert another dittograph' when the punishment of the Lord of Spirits shall rest upon these'.
