2 BARUCH 22
22:1 And afterward it happened that, behold, the heaven was opened, and I saw and strength was given to me, and a Voice was heard from on high which said to me:
22:2 Baruch, Baruch, why are you disturbed?
22:3 Who starts on a journey and does not complete it? Or who will be comforted making a sea voyage unless he can reach a harbor?
22:4 Or he who promises to give a present to somebody; is it not a theft, unless it is fulfilled?
22:5 Or he who sows the earth; does he not lose everything unless he reaps its harvest in its own time?
22:6 Or he who plants a vineyard; does the planter expect to receive fruit from it, unless it grows until its appointed time?
22:7 Or a woman who has conceived; does she not surely kill the child when she bears untimely?
22:8 Or he who builds a house, can it be called a house, unless it is provided with a roof and is finished? Tell this to ME first.
