Baruch 2:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Yet we have not entreated the favor of the Lord by turning away, each of us, from the thoughts of our wicked hearts. ⁹ And the Lord has kept the calamities ready, and the Lord has brought them upon us, for the Lord is just in all the works that he has commanded us to do. ¹⁰ Yet we have not obeyed his voice, to walk in the statutes of the Lord that he set before us.
