Baruch 2:24-26

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ “‘But we did not obey thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon; and thou hast confirmed thy words, which thou didst speak by thy servants the prophets, that the bones of our kings and the bones of our fathers would be brought out of their graves;^{[a] 25} and behold, they have been cast out to the heat of day and the frost of night. They perished in great misery, by famine and sword and pestilence. ²⁶ And the house which is called by thy name thou hast made as it is today, because of the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
