Syriac Apocalypse
Now, my brethren, learn first what befell Zion: how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against us.
2For we have sinned against Him who made us, and we have not kept the commandments which he commanded us, yet he hath not chastened us as we deserved.
3For what befell you we also suffer in a pre-eminent degree, for it befell us also.
