2 Wherefore are these very withered and their faces melancholy, and their mouths silent, and wherefore is there no service on this heaven? (2EN) 3 And they said to me: These are the Grigori, who with their prince Satanail rejected the Lord of light, and after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second heaven, and three of them went down on to earth from the Lord's throne, to the place Ermon, and broke through their vows on the shoulder of the hill Ermon [*1] and saw the daughters of men how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing, and giants are born and marvellous big men and great enmity. (2EN) 4 And therefore God judged them with great judgement, and they weep for their brethren and they will be punished on the Lord's great day. (2EN)
