And my oppression became my salvation; and I was their reprobation because there was no zeal in me;

And they came round me like mad dogs, who ignorantly attack their masters,

For their thought is corrupt and their understanding perverted.

For their thought is corrupt and their understanding perverted.

But I was carrying water in my right hand, and their bitterness I endured by my sweetness;

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And I bore their bitterness for humility's sake:

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:

And give them to drink of the wine of their intoxication, and remove their wisdom and knowledge, and so they make them without intelligence;

And give them to drink of the wine of their intoxication, and remove their wisdom and knowledge, and so they make them without intelligence;

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 I answered and said: 'So then I am destined to grieve for Zion, For your enemies will come to this place and pollute Your sanctuary, And lead your inheritance into captivity, And make themselves masters of those whom you have loved, And they will depart again to the place of their idols, And will boast before them: And what will you do for Your great name?'

And they lifted up their voice, and they all wept.

Or why, again, should mankind have sons? Or why should the seed of their kind again be named, Where this mother is desolate, And her sons are led into captivity?

And lo! they have been carried off, nor on their account have you had mercy on Zion.

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.

And as regards what you did say touching the righteous, that on account of them has this world come, so also again shall that, which is to come, come on their account.

For they shall know that their torment has come and their perdition has arrived.'

For they shall know that their torment has come and their perdition has arrived.'

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:

But others again I have seen who have forsaken their vanity, and fled for refuge beneath Your wings.

You instruct created things in the understanding of you, And you make wise the spheres so as to minister in their orders.

Armies innumerable stand before you And minister in their orders quietly at Your nod.

Therefore a fire shall consume their thoughts, And in flame shall the meditations of their reins be tried; For the Judge shall come and will not tarry.

Therefore a fire shall consume their thoughts, And in flame shall the meditations of their reins be tried; For the Judge shall come and will not tarry.

Because each of the inhabitants of the earth knew when he was transgressing. But My Law they knew not by reason of their pride.

For you did of old command the dust to produce Adam, and you know the number of those who are born from him, and how far they have sinned before you, who have existed and not confessed you as their Creator.

And as regards all these their end shall convict them, and Your law which they have transgressed shall requite them on Your day.'

For over this above all shall those who come then lament, that they rejected My law, and stopped their ears that they might not hear wisdom or receive understanding.

But those who have been saved by their works, And to whom the law has been now a hope, And understanding an expectation, And wisdom a confidence, Shall wonders appear in their time.

But those who have been saved by their works, And to whom the law has been now a hope, And understanding an expectation, And wisdom a confidence, Shall wonders appear in their time.

For there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who are now held fast by My word, lest they should appear, and are held fast by a command, that they may stand in their places till their advent comes.

For what then have men lost their life, And for what have those who were on the earth exchanged their soul?

For what then have men lost their life, And for what have those who were on the earth exchanged their soul?

And I besought the Mighty One, and said: 'You alone, O Lord, know of aforetime the deep things of the world, And the things which befall in their times You bring about by Your word, And against the works of the inhabitants of the earth you do hasten the beginnings of the times, And the end of the seasons you alone know.

For at the consummation of the world vengeance shall be taken upon those who have done wickedness according to their wickedness, And you will glorify the faithful according to their faithfulness.

And the withholding of rain, and the famines which occurred until women eat the fruit of their wombs.

And the time of their captivity which came upon the nine tribes and a half, because they were in many sins.

And I went forth and destroyed their multitude, the number of whose chiefs only was a hundred and eighty-five thousand, and each one of them had an equal number (at his command).

And at that time I burned their bodies within, but their raiment and arms I preserved outwardly, in order that the still more wonderful deeds of the Mighty One might appear, and that thereby His name might be spoken of throughout the whole earth.

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)"?

And some of them shall be destroyed by their own. Then the Most High peoples whom He has prepared before, And they shall come and make war with the leaders that shall then be left.

And wild beasts shall come from the forest and minister unto men And asps and dragons shall come forth from their holes to submit themselves to a little child.

For the shepherds of Israel have perished, And the lamps which gave light are extinguished, And the fountains have withheld their stream whence we used to drink.

And we behold the multitude of their power, Though they do wickedly, But they shall be made like unto a drop:

And we see the firmness of their might. Though they resist the Mighty One every hour, But they shall be accounted as spittle.

And we consider the glory of their greatness, Though they do not keep the statutes of the Most High, But as smoke shall they pass away.

And we meditate on the beauty of their gracefulness, Though they have to do with pollutions, But as grass that withers shall they fade away.

And we consider the strength of their cruelty, Though they remember not the end (thereof), But as a wave that passes shall they be broken.

And we remark the boastfulness of their might, Though they deny the beneficence of God, who gave (it) to them, But they shall pass away as a passing cloud.

Their wealth spread to the whole earth, And their glory unto the end of the earth.
