And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness which was inexhaustible: and around it were many fountains of wisdom: and all the thirsty drank of them, and were filled with wisdom, and their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.

And at that hour that Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of Spirits, and his name before the Head of Days. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall, and He shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart.

All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, and will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.

And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore.

And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous; for he hath preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness, and have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits: for in his name they are saved, and according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life.

Enoch 48:1-7

Is the concept found in the first part of this quote from 1 Enoch, "the fountain of righteousness" one which can be found in other Biblical books or is it unique to 1 Enoch?

Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.​

Fear of the Lord is a type of wisdom.

Also

Proverbs 25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.​

So conversely, a righteous man who doesn't fall is a working fountain.

I put the RH Charles translation of the Book of Enoch online in fully-functional HTML, here:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_RHC.html

Ctrl-F is your friend to search through the text.

Every chapter and every verse may be linked to using the following convention for URLs:

Chapters:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_RHC.html#48

Verses:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_RHC.html#48:5

You'll notice the only part one needs to change is at the end of the URL.

I've put the GH Schodde translation of the book online in fully-functional HTML, here:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_GHS.html

I have the R Laurence translation of the book online in fully-functional HTML, here:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_RL.html


If you'd rather just view all three translations side-by-side, the "Parallel Book of Enoch" here:
http://summascriptura.com/html/Enoch_1_RHC_Parallel.html

FYI, all 3 translations are in the public domain.
