Baruch 4:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴ Happy are we, O Israel,
    for we know what is pleasing to God.

⁵ Take courage, my people,
    who perpetuate Israel’s name!
⁶ It was not for destruction
    that you were sold to the nations,
but you were handed over to your enemies
    because you angered God.
