καὶ φοβηθήσονται πάντες καὶ πιστεύσουσιν οἱ ἐγρήγοροι, καὶ ᾄσουσιν ἀπόκρυφα ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἄκροις τῆς γῆς· καὶ σεισθήσονται πάντα τὰ ἄκρα τῆς γῆς, καὶ λήμψεται αὐτοὺς τρόμος καὶ φόβος μέγας μέχρι τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς.
Here, for the first time, the book names its subject: οἱ ἐγρήγοροι, the Watchers — the angels who will fall. At the theophany all are afraid, and the Watchers themselves tremble; the ends of the earth are shaken, and a great fear grips the world to its farthest bounds.
