# Secrets of Enoch (2 Enoch, Slavonic Enoch) 18:2

**Not Scripture.** Read [Why](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/2-enoch#research-notice) and [the Issues With This Book](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/2-enoch#issues-with-this-book).

**Venerating Angels or Other Created Things.** Chapter 18, in the 1896 numbering, shows the Grigori and their prince Satanail. Chapters 29 and 31 tell Satanail hurled down. [This issue](https://apologetics.wiki/non-canonical/2-enoch#issue-secrets-grigori).

And their countenances were withered, and their lips are always silent. And there was no service in the fifth heaven. And I said to the men who were with me: ‘Why are these men very withered, and their faces melancholy, and their lips silent, and there is no service in this heaven?’

Not received as Scripture by the Jewish canon or by the major Christian churches, apart from local exceptions such as the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, which includes 1 Enoch and Jubilees. This is not the Apocrypha.
