And as often as I saw I blessed always the Lord of Glory, and I continued to bless the Lord of Glory who has wrought great and glorious wonders, to show the greatness of His work to the angels and to spirits and to men, that they might praise His work and all His creation: that they might see the work of His might and praise the great work of His hands and bless Him for ever.

The Circuit Completed, and a Doxology
Enoch completes the circuit by visiting the south, where three portals release dew, rain, and wind, then returns to the east, where three larger portals and smaller ones above them let the stars pass through on their appointed path to the west. The chapter, and the long cosmic tour that began several chapters earlier, closes with Enoch blessing the Lord of Glory for the greatness of his work.
