And I rose up and am with them; and I will speak by their mouths.

For they have despised those who persecuted them;

And I lifted up over them the yoke of my love;

And I made a congregation of living men amongst his dead men, and I spake with them by living lips:

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 the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up.

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:

And it came to pass after these things that the army of the Chaldees entered and seized the house, and all that was around it. And they led the people away captive and slew some of them, and bound Zedekiah the king, and sent him to the king of Babylon.

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.

On this account also these without fear leave this world, and trusting with joy they hope to receive the world which you have promised them.

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.

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 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.

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.

Is it in one place or in one of the parts of the earth that those things are come to pass, or will the whole earth experience (them) ?'

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 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.'

To where are you departing from us, Baruch, and are you forsaking us as a father who forsakes his orphan children, and departs from them?

For lo! I see many of Your people who have withdrawn from Your covenant, and cast from them the yoke of Your law.

What therefore will be to them? or how will the last time receive them?

What therefore will be to them? or how will the last time receive them?

And I, Baruch, went from thence, and came to my people, and I called my first-born son and [the Gedaliahs] my friends, and seven of the elders of the people, and I said unto them:

These are they who have acquired for themselves treasures of wisdom, And with them are found stores of understanding, And from mercy have they not withdrawn, And the truth of the law I have they preserved.

For to them shall be given the world to come, But the dwelling of the rest who are many shall be in the fire.'

For if you teach them, you will quicken them.'

For if you teach them, you will quicken them.'

And I said unto them: 'The throne of the Mighty One I cannot resist; Nevertheless, there shall not be wanting to Israel a wise man Nor a son of the law to the race of Jacob.

But only prepare you your hearts, that you may obey the law, And be subject to those who in fear are wise and understanding; And prepare your souls that you may not depart from them.

But with regard to the word that I was to be taken I did not make (it) known to them or to my son.]

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.

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

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 time shall no longer age them.
