Baruch 2:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 We did not entreat the favor of the Lord by turning, each one, from the designs of our evil hearts. 9 The Lord kept watch over the evils, and brought them home to us; for the Lord is just in all the works he commanded us to do,(A) 10 but we did not listen to his voice, or follow the precepts of the Lord which he had set before us.
