Second Baruch

Hear also concerning the bright waters that are

to come

at the end after these dark ones.

This is the word:

After

have come

the signs that were told to you beforehand,

when the nations are in turmoil,

and there shall come

the time

of my Messiah,

then he will summon all the nations,

and some of them he will spare, and some of them he will slay.

These things, therefore, will come upon the nations that are to be spared by him.

Every nation that has not

known

Israel,

and that has not

trodden down

the seed of Jacob, will live.

And this is because some from all nations will be subjected to your people.

All those,

however,

who ruled over you or knew you,

all these will be delivered over to the sword.
