Baruch 2:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ yet we did not entreat the Lord for relief and pledge to renounce the desires of our evil hearts. ⁹ The Lord did not ignore our misdeeds but inflicted evils upon us in recompense, for the Lord is just in all the works he has commanded us to do. ¹⁰ Yet we did not heed the voice of the Lord or obey the precepts that he enjoined upon us.
