Baruch 2:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ All those calamities with which the Lord threatened us have come upon us. ⁸ Yet we have not entreated the favour of the Lord by turning away, each of us, from the thoughts of our wicked hearts. ⁹ And the Lord has kept the calamities ready, and the Lord has brought them upon us, for the Lord is just in all the works that he has commanded us to do.
