The Lord is my hope: in Him I shall not be confounded.

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

And it came infinitely and invisibly: and until it was set in the midst they did not know it:

Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

In order, that I might redeem my people, and inherit it and that I might not make void my promises to the fathers, to whom I promised the salvation of their seed. Hallelujah.

To the blessed there is joy from their hearts, and light from Him that dwells in them:

Again Grace ran and forsook corruption, and came down in Him to bring it to nought;

And make you wise in the ways of truth: that you be not destroyed nor perish:

My chosen ones walk in me, and my ways I will make known to them that seek me, and I will make them trust in my name. Hallelujah.

My chosen ones walk in me, and my ways I will make known to them that seek me, and I will make them trust in my name. Hallelujah.

Nor is there any storm in the depth of the illuminated thought:

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

And there came forth from them a smoke and a judgment; and I was keeping quiet in the order of the Lord:

And I grew great by His bounty, and rested in His perfection,

And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul: and I was made right with the Most High, and I was redeemed with Him. Hallelujah.

I rested in the Spirit of the Lord: and the Spirit raised me on high:

And made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before His perfection and His glory, while I was praising Him by the composition of His songs.

And my access to Him was in peace; and I was established by the Spirit of His government. Hallelujah.

And I did not make an error in anything because I obeyed the Truth.

For Error flees away from it, and meets it not: but the Truth proceeds in the right path, and

And they are alike in the beloved and in his bride: and they lead astray and corrupt the whole world:

And they are alike in the beloved and in his bride: and they lead astray and corrupt the whole world:

And the Lord alone was glorified in His planting and in His husbandry: by His care and by the blessing of His lips,

And the Lord alone was glorified in His planting and in His husbandry: by His care and by the blessing of His lips,

For they are more swift than lightning and more rapid, and those who cross them in faith are not moved;

For the sign in them is the Lord; and the sign is the way of those who cross in the name of the Lord;

For the sign in them is the Lord; and the sign is the way of those who cross in the name of the Lord;

And a way has been appointed for those who cross after Him and for those who adhere to the course of faith in Him and worship His name. Hallelujah.

And my face exults with His gladness, and my spirit exults in His love, and my soul shines in Him:

And my face exults with His gladness, and my spirit exults in His love, and my soul shines in Him:

And reverence confides in Him; and redemption in Him stands assured:

And reverence confides in Him; and redemption in Him stands assured:

And His inheritance is immortal life, and those who participate in it are incorrupt. Hallelujah.

And His children shall be known to Him. Therefore we will sing in His love:

We live in the Lord by His grace: and life we receive in His Messiah:

We live in the Lord by His grace: and life we receive in His Messiah:

Let us, therefore, all of us unite together in the name of the Lord, and let us honour Him in His goodness,

Let us, therefore, all of us unite together in the name of the Lord, and let us honour Him in His goodness,

And let our faces shine in His light: and let our hearts meditate in His love by night and by day.

And let our faces shine in His light: and let our hearts meditate in His love by night and by day.

And His Word is with us in all our way;

The Son of the Most High appeared in the perfection of His Father;

And light dawned from the Word that was beforetime in Him;

All my persecutors are dead; and they sought after me who hoped in me, because I was alive:

And as the couch that is spread in the house of the bridegroom and bride,

So is my love over those that believe in me.

And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of Jeconiah, king of Judah, that the word of the Lord came to Baruch, the son of Neriah, and said to him:

If I have found grace in Your sight, first take my spirit that I may go to my fathers and not behold the destruction of my mother.

But one thing I will say in Your presence, O Lord.

Or how shall one speak of Your praises? or to whom shall that which is in Your law be explained? Or shall the world return to its nature of aforetime), and the age revert to primeval silence? And shall the multitude of souls be taken away, and the nature of man not again be named? And where is all that which you did say regarding us?'

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 the Lord said unto me: 'My name and My glory are unto all eternity; And My judgment shall maintain its right in its own time.

And I beheld, and lo! four angels standing at the four corners of the city, each of them holding a torch of fire in his hands.

For I am first sent to speak a word to the earth, and to place in it what the Lord the Most High has commanded me.'

And I, Baruch, came, and Jeremiah, whose heart was found pure from sins, who had not been captured in the seizure of the City.

And thou, vine, why further do you give your wine; For an offering will not again be made from there in Zion, Nor will first-fruits again be offered.

And you, you bridegrooms, enter not in, And let not the brides adorn themselves with garlands; And, you women, pray not that you may bear.

For why should they bear in pain, Only to bury in grief?

For why should they bear in pain, Only to bury in grief?

Moreover, I, Baruch, say this against you, Babylon: 'If you had prospered, And Zion had dwelt in her glory, Yet the grief to us had been great That you should be equal to Zion.

Our fathers went to rest without grief, And lo! the righteous sleep in the earth in tranquility;

Our fathers went to rest without grief, And lo! the righteous sleep in the earth in tranquility;

Would that you had ears, O earth, And that you had a heart, O dust: That you might go and announce in Sheol, And say to the dead:

For assuredly in its own season shall the (divine) wrath awake against you. Which now in long-suffering is held in as it were by reins.

For assuredly in its own season shall the (divine) wrath awake against you. Which now in long-suffering is held in as it were by reins.

For assuredly in its own season shall the (divine) wrath awake against you. Which now in long-suffering is held in as it were by reins.

'Why hath the mighty God brought upon us this retribution?' Say you to them, you and those like you who shall have seen this evil: '(This is the evil) and retribution which is coming upon you and upon your people in its (destined) time that the nations may be thoroughly smitten.

And then they shall be in anguish.

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 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.

For what advantage is there in this, or what (evil), worse than what' we have seen befall us, are we to expect to see?

But again I will speak in Your presence:

What have they profited who had knowledge before you and have not walked in vanity as the rest of the nations, and have not said to the dead: "Give us life," but always feared you, and have not left Your ways?

For as the breath ascends involuntarily, and again dies, so it is with the nature of men, who depart not according to their own will, and know not what will befall them in the end.

For the righteous justly hope for the end, and without fear depart from this habitation, because they have with you a store of works preserved in treasuries.

But again I will speak in Your presence, O LORD, my Lord.

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

And I answered and said: 'O LORD, my Lord, lo! the years of this time are few and evil, and who is able in his little time to acquire that which is measureless?'

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.'

But after his death they sinned and transgressed, Though they knew that they had the law reproving (them), And the light in which nothing could err, Also the spheres which testify, and Me.

Now regarding everything that is, it is I that judge, but do not you take counsel in your soul regarding these things, nor afflict thyself because of those which have been.

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 again hearken: though each one were prospered all that time-all the time from the day on which death was decreed against those who transgress-and in his end was destroyed, in vain would have been everything.

And again hearken: though each one were prospered all that time-all the time from the day on which death was decreed against those who transgress-and in his end was destroyed, in vain would have been everything.

Therefore have I now taken away Zion, That I may the more speedily visit the world in its season.

Now therefore hold fast in your heart everything that I command you, And seal it in the recesses of your mind.

Now therefore hold fast in your heart everything that I command you, And seal it in the recesses of your mind.

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 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 it came to pass at sunset that my soul took much thought, and I began to speak in the presence of the Mighty One, and said:

And if in time many have sinned, yet others not a few have been righteous.

For if a consummation had not been prepared for all, in vain would have been their beginning.

How long will that which is corruptible remain, and how long will the time of mortals be prospered, and until what time will those who transgress in the world be polluted with much wickedness?

Command therefore in mercy and accomplish all that you saidst you wouldst bring, that Your might may be made known to those who think that Your long-suffering is weakness.

And reprove accordingly the angel of death, and let Your glory appear, and let the might of Your beauty be known, and let Sheol be sealed so that from this time forward it may not receive the dead, and let the treasuries of souls restore those which are enclosed in them.

For there have been many years like those that are desolate from the days of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and of all those who are like them, who sleep in the earth, on whose account you did say that you had created the world.

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