The Book of Enoch<br />
Resting-Places of the Holy.<br />
39.5 There my eyes saw their dwelling with the Angels, and their resting<br />
places with the Holy Ones, and they were petitioning and supplicating and<br />
praying, on behalf of the sons of men; and righteousness, like water, flowed<br />
in front of them, and mercy like dew on the ground. Thus it is among them<br />
forever and ever.<br />
39.6 And in those days my eyes saw the Place of the Chosen Ones of<br />
Righteousness and Faith; and there will be righteousness in their days, and<br />
the righteous and chosen will be without number, in front of him, forever<br />
and ever.<br />
39.7 And I saw their dwelling, under the Wings of the Lord of Spirits, and<br />
all the righteous and chosen shone in front of him, like the light of fire.<br />
And their mouths were full of blessing, and their lips praised the name of<br />
the Lord of Spirits. And righteousness will not fail in front of him, and<br />
truth will not fail in front of him.<br />
39.8 There I wished to dwell, and my soul longed for that dwelling; there<br />
had my lot been assigned before, for thus it was decided about me, in front<br />
of the Lord of Spirits.<br />
39.9 And in those days I praised and exalted the name of the Lord of<br />
Spirits, with blessing and praise, for he has destined me for blessing and<br />
praise, in accordance with the Lord of Spirits.<br />
39.10 And for a long time my eyes looked at that place, and I blessed him<br />
and praised him, saying: "Blessed is He, and may He be blessed from the<br />
beginning and for ever!"<br />
39.11 And in his presence there is no end. He knew before the world was<br />
created what the world would be, even for all the generations that are to<br />
come.<br />
39.12 Those who do not sleep bless you, and they stand before Your Glory,<br />
and bless and praise and exalt, saying: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord of Spirits;<br />
