who

For those who are amongst your own you rule, And those who sin you blot out from amongst your own.'

For those who are amongst your own you rule, And those who sin you blot out from amongst your own.'

And I wondered and was astonished, and pondered in my thoughts regarding the multitude of goodness which sinners who are upon the earth have rejected, and regarding the great torment which they have despised, though they knew that they should be tormented because of the sin they had committed.

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, if at the word of the announcement of the torment of those who have done foolishly you are so wholly distraught, How much more when the event will reveal marvelous things?

And it came to pass when the word had gone forth from His presence, that the duration of the world had come into being in a small degree, and was established according to the multitude of the intelligence of Him who sent it.

And then those who did so were tormented in chains.

And those who dwelt on the earth perished together (with them) through the waters of the deluge.

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.

But also the heavens at that time were shaken from their place, and those who were under the throne of the Mighty One were perturbed, when He was taking Moses unto Himself.

But even Israel was then polluted by sins in the days of the judges, though they saw many signs which were from Him who made them.

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 all the iniquities which kings who were after him iniquitously wrought.

And thereupon the Mighty One commanded Ramiel His angel who speaks with you.

And all those who were in the holy land rejoiced, and the name of the Mighty One was glorified so that it was spoken of

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 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 festivals and the Sabbaths he established in their sanctity], and their polluted ones he burnt in the fire, and the lying prophets which deceived the people, these also he burnt in the fire, and the people who listened to them when they were living, he cast them into the brook Kidron, and heaped stones upon them.

For on his account and on account of those who are like him were the honorable glories, of which you were told before, created and prepared. These arc the bright waters which you have seen.

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)"?

But the king of Babylon will arise who has now destroyed Zion, And he will boast over the people, And he will speak great things in his heart in the presence of the Most High.

And the many shall be delivered into the hands of the few, And those who were nothing shall rule over the strong, And the poor shall have abundance beyond the rich, And the impious shall exalt themselves above the heroic.

And the wise shall be silent, And the foolish shall speak, Neither shall the thought of men be then confirmed, Nor the counsel of the mighty, Nor shall the hope of those who hope be confirmed.

But all those who have ruled over you, or have known you, shall be given up to the sword.

'And it shall come to pass in those days that the reapers shall not grow weary, Nor those that build be toil-worn; For the works shall of themselves speedily advance Together with those who do them in much tranquility.

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

Or who can search into your compassions, Which are infinite?

Or who can comprehend Your intelligence?

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

Or who of those who are born can hope to come to those things, Unless he is one to whom you are merciful and gracious?

Or who of those who are born can hope to come to those things, Unless he is one to whom you are merciful and gracious?

Because, if assuredly you did not have compassion on man, Those who are under Your right hand, They could not come to those things, But those who are in the numbers named can be called.

Because, if assuredly you did not have compassion on man, Those who are under Your right hand, They could not come to those things, But those who are in the numbers named can be called.

But if, indeed, we who exist know wherefore we have come, And submit ourselves to Him who brought us out of Egypt, We shall come again and remember those things which have passed, And shall rejoice regarding that which has been.

But if, indeed, we who exist know wherefore we have come, And submit ourselves to Him who brought us out of Egypt, We shall come again and remember those things which have passed, And shall rejoice regarding that which has been.

But if now we know not wherefore we have come, And recognize not the principate of Him who brought us up out of Egypt, We shall come again and seek after those things which have been now, And be grieved with pain because of those things which have befallen.'

'Hear, you children of Israel, behold how many you are who remain of the twelve tribes of Israel.

And know you not that on account of you who did sin, That which sinned not was overthrown, And, on account of those who wrought wickedly, That which wrought not foolishness was delivered up to (its) enemies?'

And know you not that on account of you who did sin, That which sinned not was overthrown, And, on account of those who wrought wickedly, That which wrought not foolishness was delivered up to (its) enemies?'

Thus says Baruch the son of Neriah to the brethren carried into captivity: 'Mercy and peace.' I bear in mind, my brethren, the love of Him who created us, who loved us from of old, and never hated us, but above all educated us.

For if you so do these things, He will continually remember you, He who always promised on our behalf to those who were more excellent than we, that He will never forget or forsake us, but with much mercy will gather together again those who were dispersed.

For we have sinned against Him who made us, and we have not kept the commandments which he commanded us, yet he hath not chastened us as we deserved.

And when they had done these things, they delivered thereupon to the enemy the overthrown wall, and the plundered house, and the burnt temple, and the people who were overcome because they were delivered up, lest the enemy should boast and say: 'Thus by force have we been able to lay waste even the house of the Most High in war.'

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.

And He will assuredly judge those who are in His world, And will visit in truth all things by means of all their hidden works.

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.

For if He judge us not according to the multitude of His mercies, woe unto all us who are born.

He said: I will be lord of land and sea; And he recognized not that it is God who is great, Mighty in His great strength.

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

Sing a new song, Unto God who is worthy to be praised. Sing and be wakeful against His awaking, For good is a psalm (sung) to God from a glad heart.

(Even the) man-pleaser who uttereth law guilefully.

Who, then, can take aught of all that Thou hast made, except Thou Thyself givest

Kings and rulers and peoples Thou dost nourish, O God; And who is the help of the poor and needy, if not Thou, O Lord

And Thou wilt hearken -for who is good and gentle but Thou— Making glad the soul of the humble by opening Thine hand in mercy.

Blessed is the Lord, who showeth mercy to those who love Him in sincerity.

Blessed is the Lord, who showeth mercy to those who love Him in sincerity.

When Israel was led away captive into a strange land, When they fell away from the Lord who redeemed them,

But not so are the sinners and transgressors, Who love (the brief) day (spent) in companionship with their sin; Their delight is in fleeting corruption,

(a) For who, O God, is strong except to give thanks unto Thee in truth

For if Thou givest not strength, Who can endure chastisement with poverty

So that nations shall come from the ends of the earth to see his glory, Bringing as gifts her sons who had fainted,

His hope (will be) in the Lord: who then can prevail against him (He will be) mighty in his works, and strong in the fear of God,

(It is He) who hath established in (their) courses the lights (of heaven) for determining seasons from year to year, And they have not turned aside from the way which He appointed them

The King most high, who brought into existence

And terrible, who wrought among themselves

That thou be saved, and all who dwell with thee.

And I am He who is, and in thy heart

Along with seven. Now, knowing who I am,

Who bade me warn you, that ye perish not.

To men who care for toil and deeds of love.

Together; for the God who rules on high

Who are blameworthy who shall trust in him..

Who are blameworthy who shall trust in him..

On men who, without justice, judge of rights.

And then shall the great God who dwells in heaven

Who wrestle. And then there shall be again

Who carry on the contest unto death.

And unto chaste men who run their race well

And those who have regard for marriages

Who took it unto scattering of life.

He who gives alms knows how to lend to God.

Nor harshly accost a man who may be blamed.

Those who shall then receive the victor's crown.

Who shall be found with burden in the womb!

Alas for all who suckle tender babes!

Alas for all who shall dwell on the waves!

Alas for women who shall see that day!

Who shall be judge of mortals; and to them

Christ, who himself is incorruptible,

Who are to be judged at the judgment-seat,

Shall to all ages perish, all who did

And all who are accomplices therein,

And all who left the great immortal God,

And reverend ministers, who knowingly

And usurers, who gains on gains amass
