2 Baruch12

^1•But I will say this as I think, and I will speak against thee, O land, which art prospering. ^2•The noonday does not always burn, nor do the rays of the sun (always) give light. ^3•Do not conclude or expect that thou wilt always be prosperous and rejoicing, and be not greatly uplifted and boastful. ^4•For assuredly in its own season wrath awake against thee, which now in long-suffering is held in as it were by reins. ^5•And when I had said these things, I fasted seven days.
