Baruch
[Ardently] Jeremiah, your words bear fruit in my soul.
Jeremiah
What mean you?
Baruch
This deed is for me. Well know I that the road leads through the valley of the shadow, even as yours. But I will walk it for the sake of Jerusalem. Master, farewell.
Jeremiah
Whither will you go?
Baruch
Farewell, master. Your blessing should I succeed. Spare me your curse should I fail. For Jerusalem! [He begins to climb down the wall]
