2 Baruch
Chapter 41
- 1 And I answered and said: 'For whom and for how many shall these things be? or who will be worthy to live at that time?
- 2 For I will speak before you everything that I think, and I will ask of you regarding those things which I meditate.
- 3 For lo! I see many of Your people who have withdrawn from Your covenant, and cast from them the yoke of Your law.
- 4 But others again I have seen who have forsaken their vanity, and fled for refuge beneath Your wings.
- 5 What therefore will be to them? or how will the last time receive them?
- 6 Or perhaps the time of these will assuredly be weighed, and as the beam inclines will they be judged accordingly?'
