1 Enoch 1:9

Pseudepigrapha

8 But with the righteous He will make peace. And will protect the elect, And mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to God, And they shall be prospered, And they shall ⌈all⌉ be blessed. ⌈And He will help them all⌉, And light shall appear unto them, ⌈And He will make peace with them⌉. 9 And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of ⌈His⌉ holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy ⌈all⌉ the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works ⌈of their ungodliness⌉ which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners ⌈have spoken⌉ against Him.

Pseudo Cyprian To Novatia

Ad Novatianum
Patristic

Let's keep in mind the day of judgment and the fact that God does not show favoritism. As Deuteronomy says, 'You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike.' Ezekiel also said, 'All souls are mine; the soul that sins shall die.' We must therefore revere God, hold fast to Him, and make a worthy confession to Him. He has the power to send both our soul and body to the Gehenna of fire. As written, 'Behold, He is coming with thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly done, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.'

 Notes and References

"... Latin: Pseudo-Cyprian Ad Novatianum quotes 1 Enoch 1:9. The fact that the author of the text takes a full line that is not included in Jude 1:9 is evidence that the author was not citing Jude, but rather 1 Enoch ..."
