Baruch 3:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ They have all vanished, descending into the netherworld,
    and others have risen up to take their place.
²⁰ Succeeding generations have seen the light of day
    and have come to dwell in the land,
but the way to knowledge they have not learned;
²¹     they have not discerned her paths or embraced her.
Not even their children have reached her;
    indeed, they have strayed far from her way.
