Baruch 2:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ that we should eat, one the flesh of his son and another the flesh of his daughter. ⁴ And he gave them into subjection to all the kingdoms around us, to be a reproach and a desolation among all the surrounding peoples, where the Lord has scattered them. ⁵ They were brought low and not raised up, because we sinned against the Lord our God, in not heeding his voice.
