Whereupon, after the assembly of fallen angels are read the words of the Epistle ("see" 1 Enoch 13:3-5), the giants and Watchers, gathered together at the place Abel-mayyâ ('the spring of Weeping' between Lebanon and Senir), straightaway 'prostrated themselves and began to weep before Enoch,' for their request to heaven for clemency had been rejected, and God had cast them off (it is significant that they weep at the foot of their own mountain of blasphemous oath-taking): all was now 'for the worst.' The only solace that Enoch could therefore offer them at that point, for theirs appears to have been a point of 'no return,' was to "loosen your bonds (of sin) which tie you up ... and begin to pray."
