Chapter 7 · 7 of 77

Second Baruch

English, translated by Online Critical Pseudepigrapha — Online Critical Pseudepigrapha, English of the critical text

And after these things,

I heard that angel saying

to the angels who were holding the torches:

"Destroy

therefore, and overthrow its walls down to the foundations,

lest the enemies boast and say:

'We have overthrown the wall of Zion,

and we have burned the place of the mighty God.'

And hold

the place where I was standing previously."
