2 BARUCH 12
12:1 But I shall say as I think and I shall speak to you, O land, that which is happy.
12:2 The afternoon will not always burn nor will the rays of the sun always give light.
12:3 Do not think and do not expect that you will always have happiness and joy, and do not raise yourself too much and do not oppress.
12:4 For surely wrath will arise against you in its own time, because long-suffering is now held back, as it were, by reins.
12:5 And having said these things, I fasted for seven days.
