Second Baruch

For the waters,

the last,

which you saw that were darker than all those that were before them,

those that were after the number of twelve,

which were gathered together: they are the whole world.

For the Most High divided from of old,

because he alone knows what is to happen,

the evils,

for,

of the wicked

which were to happen before him,

he foresaw six of their ways;

and the good works of the righteous

which were

to be accomplished before him,

beforehand

he saw

six of their ways,

apart from those

which he is about

to do at the end of the world.

On this account there are not black waters with black,

nor bright with bright;

for it is the end.
