Baruch 2:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² we admit that we have sinned by our godless actions and our violation of all your precepts, O Lord, our God. ¹³ Avert your wrath from us, for only a scant portion of us still remains among the nations where you have scattered us. ¹⁴ Pay heed, O Lord, to our prayers and requests. For your own sake deliver us, and enable us to gain the approbation of those who have led us into exile,
