Baruch 3:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Where are the rulers of the nations,
who lorded it over the wild beasts of the earth,(A)
17 made sport of the birds in the heavens,
Who heaped up the silver,
the gold in which people trust,
whose possessions were unlimited,
18 Who schemed anxiously for money,
their doings beyond discovery?
