35) Behold, I am God; Man of Holiness is my name; Man of Counsel is my name; and Endless and Eternal is my name, also.
36) Wherefore, I can stretch forth mine hands and hold all the creations which I have made; and mine eye can pierce them also, and among all the workmanship of mine hands there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren.
37) But behold, their sins shall be upon the heads of their fathers; Satan shall be their father, and misery shall be their doom; and the whole heavens shall weep over them, even all the workmanship of mine hands; wherefore should not the heavens weep, seeing these shall suffer?
38) But behold, these which thine eyes are upon shall perish in the floods; and behold, I will shut them up; a prison have I prepared for them.

45) And it came to pass that Enoch looked; and from Noah, he beheld all the families of the earth; and he cried unto the Lord, saying: When shall the day of the Lord come? When shall the blood of the Righteous be shed, that all they that mourn may be sanctified and have eternal life?
50) And it came to pass that Enoch continued his cry unto the Lord, saying: I ask thee, O Lord, in the name of thine Only Begotten, even Jesus Christ, that thou wilt have mercy upon Noah and his seed, that the earth might never more be covered by the floods.
51) And the Lord could not withhold; and he covenanted with Enoch, and sware unto him with an oath, that he would stay the floods; that he would call upon the children of Noah;
17) And the Lord said unto Noah: My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for he shall know that all flesh shall die; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years; and if men do not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.
24) Believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest; and if ye do not this, the floods will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.

Notes

Cursing the Ground

In Genesis 8:21, the Lord promises to not curse the ground anymore. Within the Bible, this hearkens back to Genesis 5:29, in which Lamech explains his sons name saying "This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." This in turn hearkens back to Genesis 3:17, in which the Lord curses the ground.

In comparison, the Book of Jasher does not record that the ground was cursed after Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit, but instead relates that the ground was continuing to be cursed (since when?) after Enoch disappeared, during the latter part of the reign of Methuselah, as the people began to grow wicked. Similarly, the end of the curse does not appear to be recorded. The curse is mentioned, however, as part of the explanation of Noah's name.
