Enoch 18:1 I then surveyed the receptacles of all the winds, perceiving that they contributed to adorn the whole creation, and to preserve the foundation of the earth.
Enoch 18:2 I surveyed the stone which supports the corners of the earth.
Enoch 18:3 I also beheld the four winds, which bear up the earth, and the firmament of heaven.
Enoch 18:4 And I beheld the winds occupying the exalted sky.
Enoch 18:5 Arising in the midst of heaven and of earth, and constituting the pillars of heaven.
Enoch 18:6 I saw the winds which turn the sky, which cause the orb of the sun and of all the stars to set; and over the earth I saw the winds which support the clouds.
Enoch 18:7 I saw the path of the angels.
Enoch 18:8 I perceived at the extremity of the earth the firmament of heaven above it. Then I passed on towards the south;
Enoch 18:9 Where burnt, both by day and night, six mountains formed of glorious stones; three towards the east, and three towards the south.
Enoch 18:10 Those which were towards the east were of a variegated stone; one of which was of margarite, and another of antimony. Those towards the south were of a red stone. The middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God; a throne composed of alabaster, the top of which was of sapphire. I saw, too, a blazing fire hanging over all the mountains.
Enoch 18:11 And there I saw a place on the other side of an extended territory, where waters were collected.
Enoch 18:12 I likewise beheld terrestrial fountains, deep in the fiery columns of heaven.
Enoch 18:13 And in the columns of heaven I beheld fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep. Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it; nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.
Enoch 18:14 And there I beheld seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me.
Enoch 18:15 Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth, will be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven.
Enoch 18:16 The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year.
