Baruch 1:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ From the day when the Lord brought our ancestors from the land of Egypt until today, we have been disobedient to the Lord our God and have acted carelessly by not listening to his voice. ²⁰ Therefore, to this day horrible things have come upon us, even the curse that the Lord ordered through Moses his servant in the day when he brought our ancestors out of Egypt to give us a prosperous land full of milk and honey. ²¹ But we didn’t listen to the Lord God’s voice through the prophets whom he sent to us.
