Baruch 4:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 I have taken off the garment of peace,
have put on sackcloth for my prayer of supplication;
while I live I will cry out to the Eternal One.(A)
21 “Take courage, my children; call upon God;
he will deliver you from oppression, from enemy hands.(B)
22 I have put my hope for your deliverance in the Eternal One,
and joy has come to me from the Holy One
Because of the mercy that will swiftly reach you
from your eternal Savior.
