Distressed by the increasing wickedness of the ungodly, and fearing that their infidelity might lessen his reverence for God, Enoch avoided constant association with them, and spent much time in solitude, giving himself to meditation and prayer. Thus he waited before the Lord, seeking a clearer knowledge of His will, that he might perform it. To him prayer was as the breath of the soul; he lived in the very atmosphere of heaven.

Enok var bedrøvet over de ugudeliges tiltagende ondskab og frygtede, at deres vantro ville formindske hans ærbødighed over for Gud. Derfor undgik han at have forbindelse med dem til stadighed og tilbragte megen tid i ensomhed i bøn og eftertanke. På denne måde ventede han på Herren og søgte klarere forståelse af hans vilje, så han kunne udføre den. For ham var bøn sjælens åndedræt. Han levede i selve Himmelens atmosfære.
