river

AND those two men led me upon to the Northern side, and showed me there a very terrible place, and there were all manner of tortures in that place: cruel darkness and unillumined gloom, and there is no light there, but murky fire constantly flameth aloft, and there is a fiery river coming forth, and that whole place is everywhere fire, and everywhere there is frost and ice, thirst and shivering, while the bonds are very cruel, and the angels fearful and merciless, bearing angry weapons, merciless torture, and I said:

O my son! withstand not a man in the days of his power, nor a river in the days of its flood.

O my son! thou hast been like the serpent riding on a thorn-bush when he was in the midst of a river, and a wolf saw them and said, "Mischief upon mischief, and let him who is more mischievous than they direct both of them."

The river Jordan, as it is called, which never runs dry, flows through the land.

The river like the Nile rises in harvest-time and irrigates a large portion of the land.

Near the district belonging to the people of Ptolemais it issues into another river and this flows out into the sea.

For there went forth a stream and became a river great and broad;

Like a river which has an abundant fountain, and flows to the help of them that seek it. Hallelujah.

And now go and tarry not in (any) place, nor enter a nest, nor settle upon any tree, till you have passed over the breadth of the many waters of the river Euphrates, and have gone to the people that dwell there, and cast down to them this epistle.

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.

Thence streams of the great river Marsyas spring.

From a great river circle them around,

And of a river the beloved name,

The river of Euphrates shall bring on

The river of deep eddies and deep flow,

And the river Tiber shall lament for thee,

Even like a river for the swimming fish.

While frozen are great river and vast lakes,

From the river and be red with flesh and blood

Of the river Jordan, which goes rushing on

And river Tigris, throughout the mid land

And with the river, the fruit-bearing Nile,
