2 Enoch 41

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.

1And I saw all forefathers from (all) time with Adam and Eva (Eve), and I sighed and broke into tears and said of the ruin of their dishonour:

2Woe is me for my infirmity and (for that) of my forefathers, and thought in my heart and said:

3Blessed (is) the man who has not been born or who has been born and shall not sin before the Lord's face, that he come not into this place, nor bring the yoke of this place.

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.
