Baruch 2:22-24

Common English Bible

²² But if you don’t listen to the Lord’s voice and serve the king of Babylon, ²³ I’ll bring an end to the sound of joy and gladness and the celebration of marriage from the cities of Judah and around Jerusalem. The whole land will be a wasteland without life.’”

²⁴ But we didn’t listen to your voice, to serve the king of Babylon, so you have carried out the words that you spoke through your servants the prophets. The bones of our rulers and ancestors were brought out of their tombs.
