2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) 36

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

1And when I had said these things I fell asleep there, and I saw a vision in the night.

2And lo! a forest of trees planted on the plain, and lofty and rugged rocky mountains surrounded it, and that forest occupied much space.

3And lo! over against it arose a vine, and from under it there went forth a fountain peacefully.

4Now that fountain came to the forest and was (stirred) into great waves, and those waves submerged that forest, and suddenly they rooted out the greater part of that forest, and overthrew all the mountains which were round about it.

5And the height of the forest began to be made low, and the top of the mountains was made low and that fountain prevailed greatly, so that it left nothing of that great forest save one cedar only.

6Also when it had cast it down and had destroyed and rooted out the greater part of that forest, so that nothing was left of it, nor could its place be recognized, then that vine began to come with the fountain in peace and great tranquillity, and it came to a place which was not far from that cedar, and they brought the cedar which had been cast down to it.

That is the first paragraph of 2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) 36
