Jeremiah!
Zebulon
It is Jeremiah whom we seek. Where is Jeremiah?
Jeremiah
[Comes forward, speaking loudly in grief and indignation] Who seeks Jeremiah? Who still desires to rain curses on me? Let him come, let him curse. I am the mark for all the curses in the world.
Zebulon
It is I, wretch, who come to curse you, I, Zebulon, father of Baruch, whom you have led astray. Where is my son?
Jeremiah
