2 Baruch
Chapter 33
- 1 'Are these the commands which your companion, Jeremiah the prophet, commanded you, and said unto you:
- 2 "Look to this people till I go and make ready the rest of the brethren in Babylon against whom has gone forth the sentence that they should be led into captivity"?
- 3 And now if you also forsake us, it were good for us all to die before you, and then that you should withdraw from us.' 34-35. Lament of Baruch
