2 BARUCH 52
52:1 And I answered and said: How shall we forget those for whom at that time woe is preserved?
52:2 And why are we again sad for those who die? Or why do we weep for those who go into the realm of death?
52:3 The lamentations should be kept for the beginning of that coming torment; let the tears be laid down for the coming of that destruction which will then come.
52:4 But with a view of these things, I shall also speak.
52:5 And concerning the righteous ones, what will they do now?
52:6 And HE answered and said: Enjoy yourselves in the suffering which you suffer now. For why do you look for the decline of your enemies?
52:7 Prepare your souls for that which is kept for you, and make ready your souls for the reward which is preserved for you. And when HE had said this I fell asleep there.
