Baruch 1:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² And the Lord will give us strength, and he will give light to our eyes, and we shall live under the protection^[a] of Nebuchadnez′zar king of Babylon, and under the protection^[b] of Belshaz′zar his son, and we shall serve them many days and find favor in their sight. ¹³ And pray for us to the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God, and to this day the anger of the Lord and his wrath have not turned away from us. ¹⁴ And you shall read this book which we are sending you, to make your confession in the house of the Lord on the days of the feasts and at appointed seasons.
