Baruch 2:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² The evils he permitted to afflict Jerusalem have been of such intensity that they have never been paralleled anywhere under the heavens, as was foretold in the law of Moses: ³ that we would sink to the depravity of eating the flesh of our young sons and daughters. ⁴ The Lord made us subject to all the kingdoms that surround us. All the nations among which he has scattered us regard us as an object of scorn, and our land is regarded as a wilderness.
