1 Enoch 96:5

In 1 translation

1En-Charles
Woe to you who devour the finest of the wheat, And drink wine in large bowls, And tread under foot the lowly with your might.i.e. not in ordinary wine-cups. Cf. the flagons of the magnates in Samaria, Amos vi. 6. The text is corrupt = 'the strength of the root of the fountain' = כח עִיקָר עַיִן which I emend to במזרקי ייִן the phrase in Amos.
