Baruch 2:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ All of the evils that the Lord threatened to inflict upon us we have experienced, ⁸ yet we did not entreat the Lord for relief and pledge to renounce the desires of our evil hearts. ⁹ The Lord did not ignore our misdeeds but inflicted evils upon us in recompense, for the Lord is just in all the works he has commanded us to do.
