he

He who scattered my enemies had existed from ancient and my adversaries:

He who gave me authority over bonds that I might loose them;

He that overthrew by my hands the dragon with seven heads: and thou hast set me over his roots that I might destroy his seed.

And He inherited and took possession of everything. And the thought of many was brought to nought.

The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

Or who can rest on the Most High, so that with His mouth he may speak?

For he who could interpret would be dissolved and would become that which is interpreted.

I believed; therefore I was at rest; for faithful is He in whom I have believed:

He has richly blessed me and my head is with Him: and the sword shall not divide me from Him, nor the scimitar;

And He showed me His sign: forth and given me to drink, and from that life is the spirit within me, and it cannot die, for it lives.

For according to His praise He made me, and according to His goodness even so He gave unto me:

For according to His praise He made me, and according to His goodness even so He gave unto me:

And according to His mercies He exalted me: and according to His excellent beauty He set me on high:

And according to His mercies He exalted me: and according to His excellent beauty He set me on high:

And brought me up out of the depths of Sheol: and from the mouth of death He drew me:

And thou didst lay my enemies low, and He justified me by His grace.

For I believed in the Lord's Messiah: and it appeared to me that He is the Lord;

And He showed him His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power;

And He showed him His sign: and He led me by His light, and gave me the rod of His power;

And the Lord overthrew my enemy by His word: and he became like the stubble which the wind carries away;

And I gave praise to the Most High because He exalted me His servant and the son of His handmaid. Hallelujah.

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

He opened His mouth and spake grace and joy: and He spake a new song of praise to His name:

And He lifted up His voice to the Most High, and offered to Him the sons that were with Him.

And words from the Truth, who was self-originate: for He is strengthened by the holy power of the Most High: and He is unperturbed for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

And words from the Truth, who was self-originate: for He is strengthened by the holy power of the Most High: and He is unperturbed for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

And He destroyed perdition from before Him, and devastated all its order;

And He stood on a lofty summit and uttered His voice from one end of the earth to the other:

The dew of the Lord in quietness He distilled upon me:

And the cloud of peace He caused to rise over my head, which guarded me continually;

More than shelter was He to me, and more than foundation.

And I was carried like a child by his mother: and He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord:

For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:

For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:

For according to the greatness of the Most High, so He made me: and like His own newness He renewed me; and He anointed me from His own perfection:

And I spake with the lips of my heart; and He heard me, when my voice reached I Him:

And I asked the Truth 'Who are these?'; and He said to me, 'This is the deceiver and the error:

And my foundations were laid on the hand of the Lord: because He established me.

For He set the root and watered it and fixed it and blessed it; and its fruits are for ever.

The Lord has bridged them by His word; and He walked and crossed them on foot:

For a great day has shined upon us: and marvellous is He who has given us of His glory.

For the Father of truth remembered me: He who possessed me from the beginning:

The Messiah is truly one; and He was known before the foundation of the world,

That He might save souls for ever by the truth of His name: a new song arises from those who love Him. Hallelujah.

And the feet and the head he let go, for they were not able to endure my face:

This building now built in your midst is not that which is revealed with Me, that which prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment it was removed from him, as also Paradise.

This building now built in your midst is not that which is revealed with Me, that which prepared beforehand here from the time when I took counsel to make Paradise, and showed Adam before he sinned, but when he transgressed the commandment it was removed from him, as also Paradise.

And he spoke to the earth with a loud voice: 'Earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the mighty God, And receive what I commit to you, And guard them until the last times, So that, when you are ordered, you may restore them, So that strangers may not get possession of them.

Now the angels did as he had commanded them, and when they had broken up the corners of the walls, a voice was heard from the interior of the temple, after the wall had fall saying:

'Enter, you enemies, And come, you adversaries; For he who kept the house has forsaken (it).

And he, indeed, departed with the people, but I, Baruch, returned and sat before the gates of the temple, and I lamented with the following lamentation over Zion and said:

Blessed is he who was not born, Or he, who having been born, has died.

Blessed is he who was not born, Or he, who having been born, has died.

On this account he had aforetime no mercy on His own sons, But afflicted them as His enemies, because they sinned,

And now I know that those who have sinned are many, and they have lived in prosperity,' and departed from the world, but the few nations will be left in those times, to whom those words shall he said which you did say.

And you did say that you wouldst make for Your world man as the administrator of Your works, that it might be known that he was by no means made on account of the world, but the world on account of him.

Man would not rightly have understood My judgment, unless he had accepted the law, and I had instructed him in understanding.

But now, because he transgressed wittingly, yea, just on this ground that he knows (about it), he shall be tormented.

But now, because he transgressed wittingly, yea, just on this ground that he knows (about it), he shall be tormented.

But now, because he transgressed wittingly, yea, just on this ground that he knows (about it), he shall be tormented.

For what did it profit Adam that he lived nine hundred and thirty years and transgressed that which he was commanded? Therefore the multitude of time that he lived did not profit him, but brought death and cut off the years of those who were born from him. wherein did Moses suffer loss in that he lived only one hundred and twenty years, and, inasmuch he was subject to Him who formed him, brought the law to the seed of Jacob, and lighted a lamp for the nation of Israel?'

And I answered and said: 'He that lighted has taken from the light, and there are but few that have imitated him. But those many whom he has lighted have taken from the darkness of Adam and have not rejoiced in the light of the lamp.'

And I answered and said: 'He that lighted has taken from the light, and there are but few that have imitated him. But those many whom he has lighted have taken from the darkness of Adam and have not rejoiced in the light of the lamp.'

And He answered and said unto me: 'Wherefore at that time he appointed for them a covenant and said: "Behold I have placed before you life and death," And he called heaven and earth to witness against them.

And He answered and said unto me: 'Wherefore at that time he appointed for them a covenant and said: "Behold I have placed before you life and death," And he called heaven and earth to witness against them.

And He answered and said unto me: 'Wherefore at that time he appointed for them a covenant and said: "Behold I have placed before you life and death," And he called heaven and earth to witness against them.

For he knew that his time was but short, But that heaven and earth endure always.

Because if a man be prospered in his beginnings and shamefully entreated in his old age, he forgets all the prosperity that he had.

Because if a man be prospered in his beginnings and shamefully entreated in his old age, he forgets all the prosperity that he had.

And again, if a man is shamefully entreated in his beginnings, and at his end is prospered, he remembers not again his evil entreatment.

And I went there and sat in the valley of Kidron in a cave of the earth, and I sanctified my soul there, and I ate no bread, yet I was not hungry, and I drank no water, yet I thirsted not, and I was there till the seventh day, as He had commanded me.

And afterwards I came to that place where He had spoken with me.

He who travels by a road but does not complete it, or who departs by sea but does not arrive at the port, can he be comforted?

He who travels by a road but does not complete it, or who departs by sea but does not arrive at the port, can he be comforted?

Or he who promises to give a present to another, but does not fulfill it, is it not robbery?

Or he who sows the earth, but does not reap its fruit in its season, does he not lose everything?

Or he who sows the earth, but does not reap its fruit in its season, does he not lose everything?

Or he who plants a plant unless it grows till the time suitable to it, does he who planted it expect to receive fruit from it?

Or he who plants a plant unless it grows till the time suitable to it, does he who planted it expect to receive fruit from it?

Or he who builds a house, if he does not roof it and complete it, can it be called a house? Tell Me that first.'

Or he who builds a house, if he does not roof it and complete it, can it be called a house? Tell Me that first.'

And He answered and said unto me: 'Why therefore are you troubled about that which you know not, and why are you ill at ease about things in which you are ignorant?

And He answered and said unto me: 'You too shall be preserved till that time till that sign which the Most High will work for the inhabitants of the earth in the end of days.

And He answered and said unto me: 'Into twelve parts is that time divided, and each one of them is reserved for that which is appointed for it.

And I answered and said: 'It is good for a man to come and behold, but it is better that he should not come lest he fall.

And I answered and said: 'It is good for a man to come and behold, but it is better that he should not come lest he fall.

Will he who is incorruptible despise those things which are corruptible, and whatever befalls in the case of those things which are corruptible, so that he might look only to those things which are not corruptible?]

Will he who is incorruptible despise those things which are corruptible, and whatever befalls in the case of those things which are corruptible, so that he might look only to those things which are not corruptible?]

And He answered and said unto me: 'Whatever will then befall (will befall) the whole earth; therefore all who live will experience (them).

And it shall come to pass after these things, when the time of the advent of the Messiah is fulfilled, that He shall return in glory.

And He answered and said unto me: 'Baruch, this is the interpretation of the vision which you have seen.

The last leader of that time will be left alive, when the multitude of his hosts will be put to the sword, and he will be bound, and they will take him up to Mount Zion, and My Messiah will convict him of all his impieties, and will gather and set before him all the works of his hosts.

And afterwards he will put him to death, and protect the rest of My people which shall be found in the place which I have chosen.

And He answered and said unto me: 'These things also will I show unto you.

For you see that He whom we serve is just, And our Creator is no respecter of persons.

Be not therefore wroth with man; for he is nothing
