2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) 3

2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And I said: 'O Yahuah (LORD), my Lord, have I come into the world for this purpose that I might see the evils of my mother? Not (so) my Lord.

2If I have found grace in Thy sight, first take my spirit

3that I may go to my fathers and not behold the destruction of my mother. For two things vehemently constrain me: for I cannot resist Thee, and my soul, moreover, cannot behold the evils

5of my mother. But one thing I will say in Thy presence, O Yahuah (Lord). What, therefore, will there be after these things? for if Thou destroyest Thy city, and deliverest up Thy land to those that hate

6us, how shall the name of Yashar'el (Israel) be again remembered? Or how shall one speak of Thy praises?

That is the first paragraph of 2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) 3
