1 ENOCH 2

1 Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their orbits, [[and]] the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and transgress not against their appointed order. 2 Behold ye the earth, and give heed to the things which take place upon it from first to last, [[how steadfast they are]], how [[none of the things upon earth]] change, [[but]] all the works of God appear [[to you]]. 3 Behold the summer and the winter, [[[[how the whole earth is filled with water, and clouds and dew and rain lie upon it]]]].

Text. R. H. Charles, 1917. Translated for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge and public domain by age. Double brackets mark words Charles restored by conjecture and a dagger marks a reading he judged corrupt. Verse numbers follow the marginal numbering of that printing and sometimes fall mid-sentence. The text was digitised by optical character recognition, so scattered typographic artifacts survive.
