Baruch 3:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ For you are the Lord, our God, and it is you, O Lord, whom we will praise. ⁷ To effect this, you have put the fear of you into our hearts so that we will invoke your name. We now praise you in exile, for we have cast away from our hearts all the iniquity of our fathers who sinned against you. ⁸ Look upon us today in our exile, where you scattered us. We have become a reproach and a curse, to be condemned for all the iniquities of our fathers who turned away from the Lord, our God.”
