2 BARUCH 11

11:1  Now this I, Baruch, say to you, O Babylon: If you had lived in happiness and Zion in its splendor, it would have been a great sorrow to us that you had been equal to Zion.

11:2  But now, behold, the grief is infinite and the lamentation is unmeasurable, because, behold, you are happy and Zion has been destroyed.

11:3  Who will judge over these things? Or to whom shall we complain about that which has befallen us?

11:4  O YAHWEH, how have YOU borne it? Our fathers went to rest without grief and, behold, the righteous sleep at rest in the earth.

11:5  For they did not know this anguish nor did they hear that which has befallen us.

11:6  Would that you had ears, O earth and would that you had a heart, O dust, so that you might go and announce in the realm of death and say to the dead,

11:7  "You are more happy than we who live."
