Baruch 4:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Joyfully I raised them,
but with tears and lamenting I had to watch them depart.
12 Let not one of you rejoice over my fate,
a widow who has lost so many of her own;
I have been left desolate because of the sins of my children
who deviated from the law of God.
13 They refused to obey his statutes,
and did not walk in the ways of God’s commandments
or follow the paths of discipline that his justice required.
