And it shall come to pass at that time that the treasuries will be opened in which is preserved the number of the souls of the righteous, and they shall come forth, and a multitude of souls shall be seen together in one assemblage of one thought, and the first shall rejoice and the last shall not be grieved.

For they know that the time has come of which it is said, that it is the consummation of the times.

For lo! the days come, When everything that is shall become the prey of corruption And be as though it had not been.

'But as for you, if you prepare your hearts, so as to sow in them the fruits of the law, it shall protect you in that time in which the Mighty One is to shake the whole creation.

Therefore we should not be distressed so much over the evil which has now come as over that which is still to be.

Your law is life, and Your wisdom is right guidance.

Your law is life, and Your wisdom is right guidance.

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

As you have seen the great forest which lofty and rugged mountains surrounded, this is the word.

And it will come to pass when the time of its consummation that it should fall has approached, then the principate of My Messiah will be revealed, which is like the fountain and the vine, and when it is revealed it will root out the multitude of its host.

And it will come to pass when the time of its consummation that it should fall has approached, then the principate of My Messiah will be revealed, which is like the fountain and the vine, and when it is revealed it will root out the multitude of its host.

And as touching that which you have seen, the lofty cedar, which was left of that forest, and the fact, that the vine spoke those words with it which you did hear, this is the word.

And his principate will stand for ever, until the world of corruption is at an end, and until the times aforesaid are fulfilled.

This is your vision, and this is its interpretation.'

For you shall depart from this place, And you shall pass from the regions which are now seen by you, And you shall forget whatever is corruptible, And shall not again recall those things which happen among mortals.

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

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

Because whatever is now is nothing, But that which shall be is very great. For everything that is corruptible shall pass away,

And everything that dies shall depart, And all the present time shall be forgotten, Nor shall there be any remembrance of the present time, which is defiled with evils.

For that which is to be shall be the object of desire, And for that which comes afterwards shall we hope; For it is a time that passes not away,

For that which is to be shall be the object of desire, And for that which comes afterwards shall we hope; For it is a time that passes not away,

You remember the beginning which you have made, And the destruction that is to be You forget not.

Be not therefore wroth with man; for he is nothing

And whilst they are meditating these things, Then envy shall arise in those who had not thought aught of themselves (?) And passion shall seize him that is peaceful, And many shall be stirred up in anger to injure many, And they shall rouse up armies in order to shed blood, And in the end they shall perish together with them.

You, O LORD, my Lord, know what is in Your creature.

And I will recount their blessedness And not be silent in celebrating their glory, which is reserved for them.

For assuredly as in a little time in this transitory world in which you live, you have endured much labor, So in that world to which there is no end, you shall receive great light.']

For the aspect of those who now act wickedly shall become worse than it is, as they shall suffer torment.

Also (as for) the glory of those who have now been justified in My law, who have had understanding in their life, and who have planted in their heart the root of wisdom, then their splendor shall be glorified in changes, and the form of their face shall be turned into the light of their beauty, that they may be able to acquire and receive the world which does not die, which is then promised to them.

For they shall behold the world which is now invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from them:

For they shall behold the world which is now invisible to them, And they shall behold the time which is now hidden from them:

And I answered and said: 'How can we forget those for whom woe is then reserved?

Make ready your soul for that which is reserved for you, And prepare your souls for the reward which is laid up for you.']

(You) for whom nothing is too hard, But who do everything easily by a nod:

(You) who reveal to those who fear you what is prepared for them, That thenceforth they may be comforted.

You show great acts to those who know not; You break up the enclosure of those who are ignorant, And lightest up what is dark, And reveal what is hidden to the pure, [Who in faith have submitted themselves to you and Your law.]

You show great acts to those who know not; You break up the enclosure of those who are ignorant, And lightest up what is dark, And reveal what is hidden to the pure, [Who in faith have submitted themselves to you and Your law.]

For if my members were mouths, And the hairs of my head voices, Even so I could not give you the reward of praise, Nor laud you as is befitting, Nor could I recount Your praise, Nor tell the glory of Your beauty.

For His works have not taught you, Nor has the skill of His creation which is at all times persuaded you.]

Adam is therefore not the cause, save only of his own soul, But each of us has been the Adam of his own soul.

For as you did see a great cloud which ascended from the sea, and went and covered the earth, this is the duration of the world (= αιων) which the Mighty One made when he took counsel to make the world.

And as you did previously see on the summit of the cloud black waters which descended previously on the earth, this is the transgression wherewith Adam the first man transgressed.

This is the beginning of the black waters which you have seen.

But the rest of the multitude of the angels, of which there is (no) number, restrained themselves.

And after these (waters) you did see bright waters: this is the fount of Abraham, also his generations and advent of his son, and of his son's son, and of those like them.

For at that time the lamp of the eternal law shone on all those who sat in darkness, which announced to them that believe the promise of their reward, and to them that deny, the torment of fire which is reserved for them.

And the bright sixth waters which thru did see, this is the time in which David and Solomon were born.

And the black seventh waters which you have seen, this is the perversion (brought about) by the counsel of Jeroboam, who took counsel to make two calves of gold:

'And the bright eighth waters which you have seen, this is the rectitude and uprightness of Hezekiah king of Judah and the grace (of God) which came upon him.

"Behold, for lo! Sennacherib is prepared to destroy us, and he will be boastful and uplifted when he has destroyed Zion."

For he who is able to benefit is also able to torment.

For he who is able to benefit is also able to torment.

'And the bright tenth waters which you have seen: this is the purity of the generations of Josiah king of Judah, who was the only one at the time who submitted himself to the Mighty One with all his heart and with all his soul.

'And the black eleventh waters which you have seen: this is the calamity which is now befalling "Zion.

'And the black eleventh waters which you have seen: this is the calamity which is now befalling "Zion.

Do you think that there is no anguish to the angels in the presence of the Mighty One, That Zion was so delivered up, And that lo! the Gentiles boast in their hearts, And assemble before their idols and say, "She is trodden down who oftentimes trod down, And she has been reduced to servitude who reduced (others)"?

Do you think that there is no anguish to the angels in the presence of the Mighty One, That Zion was so delivered up, And that lo! the Gentiles boast in their hearts, And assemble before their idols and say, "She is trodden down who oftentimes trod down, And she has been reduced to servitude who reduced (others)"?

Dost you think that in these things the Most High rejoices, Or that His name is glorified?

Because so far as Zion is delivered up And Jerusalem laid waste, Shall idols prosper in the cities of the Gentiles, And the vapor of the smoke of the incense of the righteousness which is by the law is extinguished in Zion, And in the region of Zion in every place lo! there is the smoke of impiety.

Because so far as Zion is delivered up And Jerusalem laid waste, Shall idols prosper in the cities of the Gentiles, And the vapor of the smoke of the incense of the righteousness which is by the law is extinguished in Zion, And in the region of Zion in every place lo! there is the smoke of impiety.

'And the bright twelfth waters which you have seen: this is the word.

On his account there were not black waters with black, nor bright with bright; for it is the consummation.

This is the vision which you have seen, and this is the interpretation.

This is the vision which you have seen, and this is the interpretation.

'Hear now also regarding the bright lightning which is to come at the consummation after these black (waters): this is the word.

'Hear now also regarding the bright lightning which is to come at the consummation after these black (waters): this is the word.

After the signs have come, of which you were told before, when the nations become turbulent, and the time of My Messiah is come, he shall both summon all the nations, and some of them he shall spare, and some of them he shall slay.

'And it shall come to pass, when He has brought low everything that is in the world, And has sat down in peace for the age on the throne of His kingdom, That joy shall then be revealed, And rest shall appear.

For it is these very things which have filled this world with evils, And on account of these the life of man has been greatly troubled.

For that time is the consummation of that which is corruptible, And the beginning of that which is not corruptible.

For that time is the consummation of that which is corruptible, And the beginning of that which is not corruptible.

For that time is the consummation of that which is corruptible, And the beginning of that which is not corruptible.

Therefore those things which were predicted shall belong to it: Therefore it is far away from evils, and near to those things which die not.

This is the bright lightning which came after the last dark waters.'

And I answered and said: 'Who can understand, O Lord, Your goodness? For it is incomprehensible.

Or who is able to recount the thoughts of Your mind?
