Baruch 2:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ O Lord, look down from thy holy habitation, and consider us. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear; ¹⁷ open thy eyes, O Lord, and see; for the dead who are in Hades, whose spirit has been taken from their bodies, will not ascribe glory or justice to the Lord, ¹⁸ but the person that is greatly distressed,^[a] that goes about bent over and feeble, and the eyes that are failing, and the person that hungers, will ascribe to thee glory and righteousness, O Lord.
