2 Baruch (The Syriac Apocalypse) 52

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

1And I answered and said: 'How can we forget those for whom woe is then reserved?

2And why therefore do we again mourn for those who die? Or why do we weep for those who depart to Sheol?

3Let lamentations be reserved for the beginning of that coming torment, And let tears be laid up for the advent of the destruction of that time.

4[But even in the face of these things will I speak.

5And as for the righteous, what will they do now?

6Rejoice ye in the suffering which ye now suffer: For why do ye look for the decline of your enemies?
