Palaces

From the Book of Enoch

(Hebrew work of the Second Century, B.C., preserved only in the Ethiopic tongue)

WOE unto you who despise the humble dwelling and inheritance of your fathers! Woe unto you who build your palaces with the sweat of others! Each stone, each brick of which it is built, is a sin!
