2 Baruch 42

1And he answered and said to me, “These things also I will show you.

2And as for what you said, ‘For whom and for how many will these things be?’ — for those who have believed, there will be the good things spoken beforehand; but for those who despise them, the opposite of these things.

3And as for what you said concerning those who drew near and those who withdrew, this is the word:

4Those who were formerly under subjection and afterward withdrew and mingled themselves with the seed of the mixed peoples—their former time is reckoned as nothing.

5But those who formerly did not know life, and afterward came to know it, and mingled with the seed of the people which has separated itself—their former time is also reckoned as nothing.”
