Secrets of Enoch (2 Enoch, Slavonic Enoch) 39:8
And now, my children, listen to the discourses of your earthly father. It is terrible and awful to stand before the face of an earthly prince— terrible and very awful because the will of the prince is death and the will of the prince is life; how much more is it terrible and awful to stand before the face of the Lord of lords, and of the earthly is and the heavenly hosts. Who can endure this never-ending terror
