Jeremiah

I will look no more and listen no more. Away, you who still breathe the breath of life! Let me lie and rot!

Baruch

Jeremiah, beloved master, I implore you to collect yourself. The enemy is hunting for you.

Jeremiah

Who still seeks me in this world?

Baruch

You have been betrayed; they know your hiding-place. Nebuchadnezzar has sent officers in search of you.

Jeremiah

Let them come! Blessed be the slayers! Blessed be death!
