Apocrypha · Chapter 6 of 18
Greek Apocalypse
And I Baruch said to the angel, Let me ask thee one thing, Lord.
2Since thou didst say to me that the dragon drinks one cubit out of the sea, say to me also, how great is his belly?
3And the angel said, His belly is Hades; and as far as a plummet is thrown (by) three hundred men, so great is his belly. Come, then, that I may show thee also greater works than these.
