And it shall come to pass, when that appointed day has gone by, that then shall the aspect of those who are condemned be afterwards changed, and the glory of those who are justified.

When therefore they see those, over whom they are now exalted, (but) who shall then be exalted and glorified more than they, they shall respectively be transformed, the latter into the splendor of angels, and the former shall yet more waste away in wonder at the visions and in the beholding of the forms.

For there shall be spread before them the extents of Paradise, and there shall be shown to them the beauty of the majesty of the living creatures which are beneath the throne, and all the armies of the angels, who are now held fast by My word, lest they should appear, and are held fast by a command, that they may stand in their places till their advent comes.

But now, as for you, you wicked that now are, turn you to destruction, because you shall speedily be visited, in that formerly you rejected the understanding of the Most High.

And I wondered and was astonished, and pondered in my thoughts regarding the multitude of goodness which sinners who are upon the earth have rejected, and regarding the great torment which they have despised, though they knew that they should be tormented because of the sin they had committed.

For if owing to the report which you have only heard of judgment you are so moved, What (wilt you be) when you shall see it manifestly with your eyes?

And if with the expectation wherewith you do expect the day of the Mighty One you are so overcome, What (wilt you be) when you shall come to its advent?

And, if at the word of the announcement of the torment of those who have done foolishly you are so wholly distraught, How much more when the event will reveal marvelous things?

And if you have heard tidings of the good and evil things which are then coming and are grieved, What (wilt you be) when you shall behold what the majesty will reveal, Which shall convict these and cause those to rejoice.'

These are the black first waters.

These are the bright waters, which you have seen.

'And the black third waters which you have seen, these are the mingling of all sins, which the nations afterwards wrought after the death of those righteous men, and the wickedness of the land of Egypt, wherein they did wickedly in the service wherewith they made their sons to serve.

'And the bright fourth waters which you have seen are the advent of Moses and Aaron and Miriam and Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb and of all those like them.

These are the bright fourth waters which you have seen.

And the black fifth waters which you have seen raining are the works which the Amorites wrought, and the spells of their incantations which they wrought, and the wickedness of their mysteries, and the mingling of their pollution.

And judgments, and abusive talk, and contentions, and revenges, And blood, and passions, and envy, and hatred, And whatsoever things are like these shall go into condemnation when they are removed.

Go up therefore to the top of that mountain, and there shall pass before you all the regions of that land, and the figure of the inhabited world, and the top(s) of the mountains, and the depth(s) of the valleys, and the depths of the seas, and the number of the rivers, that you may see what you are leaving, and whither you are going.

'Hear, you children of Israel, behold how many you are who remain of the twelve tribes of Israel.

But behold! you are here with me.

For the shepherds of Israel have perished, And the lamps which gave light are extinguished, And the fountains have withheld their stream whence we used to drink.

And we are left in the darkness, And amid the trees of the forest, And the thirst of the wilderness.'

If therefore you have respect to the law, And are intent upon wisdom, A lamp will not be wanting, And a shepherd will not fail, And a fountain will not dry up.

These are the words of that epistle which Baruch the son of Neriah sent to the nine and a half tribes, which were across the river Euphrates, in which these things were written.

And truly I know that behold all we the twelve tribes are bound by one bond, inasmuch as we are born from one father.

And He will assuredly judge those who are in His world, And will visit in truth all things by means of all their hidden works.

For all healthinesses of this time are turning into diseases,

[Since therefore all these things are done now, does anyone think that they will not be avenged? But the consummation of all things will come to the truth.]

Behold! I have therefore made known unto you (these things) whilst I live: for I have said (it) that you should learn the things that are excellent; for the Mighty One hath commanded me to instruct you: and I will set before you some of the commandments of His judgment before I die.

For if He judge us not according to the multitude of His mercies, woe unto all us who are born.

His eyes are upon every woman without distinction; His tongue lieth when he maketh contract with an oath.

His words are deceitful that (he) may accomplish (his) wicked desire.

He fills one (house) with lawlessness, And (then) his eyes (are fixed) upon the next house, To destroy it with words that give wing to (desire). (Yet) with all these his soul, like Sheol, is not sated.

Blessed are they that fear the Lord in their flawlessness;

when we are in distress we call upon Thee for help, And Thou dost not turn back our petition, for Thou art our God.

Sufficient are moderate means with righteousness, And hereby the blessing of the Lord (becomes) abundance with righteousness.

His ways are made even by the Lord, And the works of his hands are preserved by the Lord his God.

His ways are made even by the Lord, And the works of his hands are preserved by the Lord his God.

And the pious (servants) of God are like innocent lambs in their midst.

And we will not depart from Thee, For good are Thy judgments upon us.

And the righteous deeds of Thy pious ones (are) before Thee, O Lord, Where, then, can a man hide himself from Thy knowledge, O God

Our works are subject to our own choice and power To do right or wrong in the works of our hands

For the judgments of the Lord are (given) in righteousness to (every) man and (his) house. Unto whom art Thou good, O God, except to them that call upon the Lord

And, now, Thou art our God, and we the people whom Thou hast loved: Behold and show pity, O God of Israel, for we are Thine; And remove not Thy mercy from us, lest they assail us.

Manifoldly twisted () are the words of the tongue of the wicked man, Even as among a people a fire that burneth up their beauty.

For terrible is the overthrow of the sinner; But not one of all these things toucheth the righteous. For not alike are the chastening of the righteous (for sins done) in ignorance, And the overthrow of the sinners

The pious of the Lord shall live by it for ever; The Paradise of the Lord, the trees of life, are His pious ones.

But not so are the sinners and transgressors, Who love (the brief) day (spent) in companionship with their sin; Their delight is in fleeting corruption,

And they remember not God. For the ways of men are known before Him at all times, And He knoweth the secrets of the heart before they come to pass.

How long are the days of man's life upon the earth As are his days, so is the hope (set) upon him.

How long are the days of man's life upon the earth As are his days, so is the hope (set) upon him.

For he shall know them, that they are all sons of their God. And he shaIl divide them according to their tribes upon the land,

Thine ears listen to the hopeful prayer of the poor. Thy judgments (are executed) upon the whole earth in mercy;

Are in abodes of Hades called to go.

And five are mates; and of the entire sum

The hundreds are twice eight and thrice three tens

Are twice announced; the whole sum I will name:

Who are blameworthy who shall trust in him..

From nations that are guided by the law

But have a care for all things that are true.

Love among all. Deal measures that are just;

Are of one 'blood, and no land has for men

A snare to men continually are gold

With evils that are past; for what is done

And all who are accomplices therein,

And more vile; and ill that are grossly proud

But just now, O ye cities, ye are built

Are fulfilled, which he threatened mortals once,
