2 BARUCH 13
The nations will be judged
13:1 And after these things, it happened that I, Baruch, was standing on Mount Zion and, behold, a voice came from the high heavens, saying to me:
13:2 Stand upon your feet, Baruch, and hear the Word of the ALMIGHTY YAHWEH.
13:3 Because you have been astonished at that which has befallen Zion, you will surely be preserved until the end of times to be for a testimony.
13:4 This means that if these happy cities will ever say, "Why has the ALMIGHTY YAHWEH brought upon us this retribution?",
13:5 You and those who are like you, those who have seen this evil and retribution coming over you and your nation in their own time, may say to them that the nations will be thoroughly punished."
13:6 And this they may expect.
13:7 And when they say in that time, "When?", you will say to them:
13:8 You who have drunk the clarified wine, you now drink its dregs, for the judgment of YAHWEH the Most High is impartial.
13:9 Therefore, HE did not spare HIS own sons first, but HE afflicted them as HIS enemies because they sinned.
13:10 Therefore, they were once punished, that they might be forgiven.
13:11 But now, you nations and tribes, you are guilty, because you have trodden the earth all this time, and because you have used creation unrighteously.
13:12 For I have always benefited you, and you have always denied the beneficence.
