Baruch 3:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O Lord, will we praise. ⁷ For thou hast put the fear of thee in our hearts in order that we should call upon thy name; and we will praise thee in our exile, for we have put away from our hearts all the iniquity of our fathers who sinned before thee. ⁸ Behold, we are today in our exile where thou hast scattered us, to be reproached and cursed and punished for all the iniquities of our fathers who forsook the Lord our God.’”
