I did not perish, though they devised it against me.

Sheol saw me and was made miserable:

Death cast me up, and many along with me.

Death cast me up, and many along with me.

And those who had died ran towards me: and they cried and said, Son of God, have pity on us, and do with us according to thy kindness,

'Have you seen all that this people are doing to Me, that the evils which these two tribes which remained have done are greater than (those of) the ten tribes which were carried away captive?

For this reason, behold I bring evil upon this city, and upon its inhabitants, and it shall be removed from before Me for a time, and I will scatter this people among the Gentiles that they may do good to the Gentiles. And My people shall be chastened, and the time shall come when they will seek for the prosperity of their times.

For two things vehemently constrain me: for I cannot resist you, and my soul, moreover, cannot behold the evils of my mother.

And the Lord said unto me: 'This city shall be delivered up for a time, And the people shall be chastened during a time, And the world will not be given over to oblivion.

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 now, behold, it is preserved with Me, as 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 went and took Jeremiah, and Adu, and Seriah, and Jabish, and Gedaliah, and all the honorable men of the people, and I led them to the valley of Kidron, and I narrated to them all that had been said to me.

And lo! suddenly a strong spirit raised me, and bore me aloft overthe wall of Jerusalem.

And lo! suddenly a strong spirit raised me, and bore me aloft overthe wall of Jerusalem.

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 it came to pass after seven days, that the word of God carne to me, and said unto me:

And it came to pass after seven days, that the word of God carne to me, and said unto me:

And I said to Jeremiah as the Lord commanded me.

I will call the Sirens from the sea, And you Lilin, come you from the desert, And you Shedim and dragons from the forests: Awake and gird up your loins unto mourning, And take up with me the dirges, And make lamentation with me.

I will call the Sirens from the sea, And you Lilin, come you from the desert, And you Shedim and dragons from the forests: Awake and gird up your loins unto mourning, And take up with me the dirges, And make lamentation with me.

And it came to pass after these things, that I, Baruch, was standing upon Mount Zion, and lo! a voice came from the height and said unto me:

And I answered and said: 'Lo! you have shown me the method of the times, and that which shall be after these things, and you have said unto me, that the retribution, which has been spoken of by you, shall come upon the nations.

And I answered and said: 'Lo! you have shown me the method of the times, and that which shall be after these things, and you have said unto me, that the retribution, which has been spoken of by you, shall come upon the nations.

And the Lord answered and said unto me: 'You are rightly astonished regarding the departure of man, but you have not judged well regarding the evils which befall those who sin.

And the Lord answered and said unto me: 'With the Most High account is not taken of time nor of a few years.

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.

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.

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.

'O you that have made the earth, hear me, that have fixed the firmament by the word, and have made firm the height of the heaven by the spirit, that have called from the beginning of the world that which did not yet exist, and they obey you.

But regarding everything that comes from you do you inform me, and regarding everything about which I ask you, do you enlighten me.

But regarding everything that comes from you do you inform me, and regarding everything about which I ask you, do you enlighten me.

And it came to pass after these things that lo! the heavens were opened, and I saw, and power was given to me, and a voice was beard from on high, and it said unto me:

And it came to pass after these things that lo! the heavens were opened, and I saw, and power was given to me, and a voice was beard from on high, and it said unto me:

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.

But if; O Lord, those things shall assuredly come to pass which you have foretold to me, so do you show this also unto me if indeed I have found grace in Your sight.

But if; O Lord, those things shall assuredly come to pass which you have foretold to me, so do you show this also unto me if indeed I have found grace in Your sight.

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

For winds shall go forth from before Me to bring every morning the fragrance of aromatic fruits, and at the close of the day clouds distilling the dew of health.

And it came to pass after these things: that I went to the people and said unto them: 'Assemble unto me all your elders and I will speak words unto them.'

And now do not draw near to me for a few days, nor seek me till I come to you.'

And now do not draw near to me for a few days, nor seek me till I come to you.'

And it came to pass when I had spoken to them all these words, that I, Baruch, went my way, and when the people saw me setting out, they lifted up their voice and lamented and said:

And I answered and said unto the people: 'Far be it from me to forsake you or to withdraw from you, but I will only go unto the Holy of Holies to inquire of the Mighty One concerning you and concerning Zion, if in some respect I should receive more illumination: and after these things I will return to you.

Make known to me therefore the interpretation of this vision.

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

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

And my son and the elders of the people answered and said unto me: 'Has the Mighty One humiliated us to such a degree As to take you from us quickly?

And when I had gone forth and dismissed them, I went there and said unto them: 'Behold! I go to Hebron: for thither the Mighty One hath sent me.'

And I came to that place where the word had been spoken unto me, and I sat there, and fasted seven days.

And He answered and said unto me: 'You have prayed simply, O Baruch, And all your words have been heard.

And He answered and said unto me: 'Hear, Baruch, this word, And write in the remembrance of your heart all that you shall learn.

You have shown to Your servant this vision; Reveal to me also its interpretation.

For I know that as regards those things wherein I besought you, I have received a response, And as regards what I besought, you did reveal to me with what voice I should praise you, And from what members I should cause praises and hallelujahs to ascend to you.

For what am I amongst men, Or why am I reckoned amongst those who are more excellent than I, That I have heard all these marvelous things from the Most High, And numberless promises from Him who created me?

Blessed be my mother among those that bear, And praised among women be she that bare me.

But do You, O Lord, expound to me regarding those things which you have revealed to me, And inform me regarding that which I besought you.

But do You, O Lord, expound to me regarding those things which you have revealed to me, And inform me regarding that which I besought you.

But do You, O Lord, expound to me regarding those things which you have revealed to me, And inform me regarding that which I besought you.

And when I was pondering on these things and the like, lo! the angel Ramiel who presides over true visions was sent to me, and he said unto me:

And when I was pondering on these things and the like, lo! the angel Ramiel who presides over true visions was sent to me, and he said unto me:

And He answered and said unto me: ['Inasmuch as the revelation of this vision has been interpreted to you as you requested], hear the word of the Most High that you may know what is to befall you after these things.

But behold! you are here with me.

And the whole people answered and said unto me: 'So far as we can recall the good things which the Mighty One has done unto us, we do recall them; and those things which we do not remember He in His mercy knows.

Nevertheless, as you said unto me, I will write also unto your brethren in Babylon, and I will send by means of men, and I will write in like manner to the nine tribes and a half, and send by means of a bird.'

And it came to pass on the one and twentieth day in the eighth month that I, Baruch, came and sat down under the oak under the shadow of the branches, and no man was with me, but I was alone.

And the Mighty One did according to the multitude of His mercies, And the Most High according to the greatness of His compassion, And He revealed unto me the word, that I might receive consolation, And He showed me visions that I should not again endure anguish, And He made known to me the mystery of the times. And the advent of the hours he showed me.

Behold! I have therefore made known unto you (these things) whilst I live: for I have said (it) that you should learn the things that are excellent; for the Mighty One hath commanded me to instruct you: and I will set before you some of the commandments of His judgment before I die.

Moreover, let this epistle be for a testimony between me and you, that you may remember the commandments of the Mighty One, and that also there may be to me a defense in the presence of Him who sent me.

Therefore He said: Cast them far from Me;

And I had not long to wait before God showed me the insolent one Slain on the mountains of Egypt, Esteemed of less account than the least on land and sea;

(It is He) who setteth me up in glory, And bringeth down the proud to eternal destruction in dishonour, Because they knew Him not.

When I cry to Thee, do not silently disregard me.

For if I hunger, unto Thee will I cry, O God; And Thou wilt give to me.

The right hand of the Lord hath covered me; The right hand of the Lord hath spared us.

when my soul departed from the Lord God of Israel— Had not the Lord helped me with His ever lasting mercy.

He pricked me, as a horse is pricked, that I might serve Him, My savior and helper at all times saved me.

He pricked me, as a horse is pricked, that I might serve Him, My savior and helper at all times saved me.

I will give thanks unto Thee, O God, for Thou hast helped me to (my) salvation; And hast not counted me with sinners to (my) destruction.

I will give thanks unto Thee, O God, for Thou hast helped me to (my) salvation; And hast not counted me with sinners to (my) destruction.

Remove not Thy mercy from me, O God, Nor Thy memorial from my heart until I die.

Rule me, O God, (keeping me back) from wicked sin, And from every wicked woman that causeth the simple to stumble.

Rule me, O God, (keeping me back) from wicked sin, And from every wicked woman that causeth the simple to stumble.

And let not the beauty of a lawless woman beguile me, Nor any one that is subject to () unprofitable sin.

Protect my tongue and my lips with words of truth; Anger and unreasoning wrath put far from me.

Murmuring, and impatience in affliction, remove far from me, When, if I sin, Thou chastenest me that I may return (unto Thee).

Murmuring, and impatience in affliction, remove far from me, When, if I sin, Thou chastenest me that I may return (unto Thee).

But with goodwill and cheerfulness support my soul; When Thou strengthenest my soul, what is given (to me) will be sufficient for me.
