[Exultant shouts nearer at hand]

Jeremiah

Woe, woe! When the mob rejoices, disaster is afoot.

Baruch

They are streaming forth from the palace.

Jeremiah

Forward, let us meet them. Lend me the strength of your arm, for I am still weak.

Baruch

The king is among them. He carries a naked sword. They are making for the temple.

Jeremiah
