Chapter XLIX
XLIX.
Enoch instructs his sons not to swear either by heaven or earth, and shows God's promise, even in the mother's womb
.I SWEAR to you, my children, but I swear not by any oath, neither by heaven nor by earth, nor by any other creature which God created.
2 The Lord said: 'There is no oath in me, nor injustice, but truth.'
3 If there is no truth in men, let them swear by the words 'yea, yea,' or else, 'nay, nay!
4 And I swear to you, yea, yea, that there has been no man in his mother's womb, but that already before, even to each one there is a place prepared for the repose of the soul, and a measure
fixed how much it is intended that a man be tried in this world.
5 Yea, children, deceive not yourselves, for there has been previously prepared a place for every soul of man.
