Baruch 4:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ My children, I spoiled you with love, but you have had to follow rugged paths; you were carried off like sheep caught in an enemy raid.

²⁷ Take courage, my children, and cry out to God for help. He punished you, but he will not forget you. ²⁸ Just as you were once determined to turn away from God, now turn back and serve him with ten times more determination.
