Noah's Cry: Why Is the Earth Shaking?
Noah sees the earth sinking toward ruin and cries out three times to his grandfather Enoch. Enoch explains that judgment has been decreed because humanity has learned "all the secrets of the angels", sorcery, witchcraft, idol-making, and metalworking, and assures Noah that he himself is "pure, and guiltless of this reproach," destined for a righteous, numberless line.
