People who fall away
2 Baruch, Baruch, why are you troubled?
3 He who travels by a road but does not complete it, or who departs by sea but does not arrive at the port, can he be comforted?
4 Or he who promises to give a present to another, but does not fulfill it, is it not robbery?
5 Or he who sows the earth, but does not reap its fruit in its season, does he not lose everything?
6 Or he who plants a plant unless it grows till the time suitable to it, does he who planted it expect to receive fruit from it?
7 Or a woman who has conceived, if she bring forth untimely, does she not assuredly slay her infant?
8 Or he who builds a house, if he does not roof it and complete it, can it be called a house? Tell Me that first.
2 Baruch 21
19 How long will that which is corruptible remain, and how long will the time of mortals be prospered, and until what time will those who transgress in the world be polluted with much wickedness?
20 Command therefore in mercy and accomplish all that you saidst you wouldst bring, that Your might may be made known to those who think that Your long-suffering is weakness.
21 And show to those who know not, that everything that has befallen us and our city until now has been according to the long-suffering of Your power, because on account of Your name you have called us a beloved people.
22 Bring to an end therefore henceforth mortality.

18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

And it shall come to pass at that time that the treasuries will be opened in which is preserved the number of the souls of the righteous, and they shall come forth, and a multitude of souls shall be seen together in one assemblage of one thought, and the first shall rejoice and the last shall not be grieved.
