Baruch 4:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Let no one rejoice over me, a widow
    and bereaved of many;
I was left desolate because of the sins of my children,
    because they turned away from the law of God.
¹³ They had no regard for his statutes;
    they did not walk in the ways of God’s commandments,
    nor tread the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
¹⁴ Let the neighbors of Zion come;
    remember the capture of my sons and daughters,
    which the Everlasting brought upon them.
