2 Enoch 34

Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

W.R. Morfill, translated from the Slavonic, 1896 (Oxford); short-recension chapter division. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1They have rejected my commandments and my yoke, worthless seed has come up, not fearing God, and they would not bow down to me, but have begun to bow down to vain gods, and denied my unity, and have laden the whole earth with untruths, offences, abominable lecheries, namely one with another, and all manner of other unclean wickedness, which are disgusting to relate.

2And therefore I will bring down a deluge upon the earth and will destroy all men, and the whole earth will crumble together into great darkness.

Public-domain text. Pseudepigrapha are extra-canonical witnesses to the Second Temple and early Christian worlds; read with discernment. The Apocrypha endorsement in D&C 91 does not extend to these texts.
