Second Baruch

And as for the twelfth bright waters which you saw,

this is the word:

For there will come

a time

after these things,

and your people will fall into distress,

so that into danger

they will come, of perishing

all together.

Yet they shall be saved,

and their enemies shall fall before them.

And at that time they shall have great joy.

And at that time, after a little while, Zion shall again be rebuilt,

and there shall be restored

again its offerings,

and the priests shall return to their ministry,

and the nations shall again come to glorify it.

Yet not fully, as at the beginning.

But it shall come to pass after these things

that there shall be the fall of many nations.

These are the bright waters which you saw.
