The Holy Scripture
1 Enoch
Chapter V
Observe ye how the trees cover themselves with green leaves and bear fruit: wherefore give ye heed and know with regard to all His works, and recognize how He that liveth for ever hath made them so.
¹πῶς τά φύλλα χλωρά ἐν αὐτοῖς σκέποντα τὰ δένδρα, καὶ πᾶς ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῶν εἰς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν. διανοήθητε καὶ γνῶτε περὶ πάντων τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, καὶ νοήσατε ὅτι θεὸς ζῶν ἐποίησεν αὐτὰ οὕτως, καὶ ζῇ εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας·
And all His works go on thus from year to year for ever, and all the tasks which they accomplish for Him, and their tasks change not, but according as God hath ordained so is it done.
²καὶ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ἀπὸ ἐνιαυτοῦ εἰς ἐνιαυτὸν γινόμενα πάντα οὕτως, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἀποτελοῦσιν αὐτῷ τὰ ἔργα, καὶ οὐκ ἀλλοιοῦνται αὐτῶν τἀ ἔργα, ἀλλʼ ὁὡσπερεὶ κατά ἐπιταγὴν τὰ πάντα γίνεται.
